UAV

A UAV or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, is any manner of robotic aircraft, from a surveillance drone to a fighter, a bomber, or even a commercial airliner that flies itself. A pilot may be used, as a secondary control system with a UAV, however that pilot is usually located on the ground, in another part of the world to the vehicle itself.

All flight navigation decisions are made by the on-board artificial intelligence, based on data gathered by a variety of sensor systems. The pilot is only required for tricky manoeuvres, for setting new goals, and tasks, or as a backup for insurance purposes.
