Abstract

An unmanned aircraft is called a drone. Significantly known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) without a pilot or also called a Flying Robot (FR), which can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously using embedded software-controlled in conjunction with onboard sensors, sig-nals, a global positioning system (GPS), including IoT and a much larger number of electronic components based on their type and its functionality. The first pilot-less Vehicles developed in Britain were tested in March 1917 and the American aerial torpedo first flew in October 1918. From then onwards to till date there is a rapid evolutionary development in this technology, especially the two decades of 1990-2010 a pivotal significant time period for military and civilian drone development, and also during 2010 till today is the Golden Age of drones. The description of the introductory ...
