6 Functional Categories Target and decoy providing ground and aerial gunnery a target that simulates an enemy aircraft or missile Reconnaissance providing battlefield intelligence Combat providing attack capability for high-risk missions (see Unmanned combat air vehicle) Logistics UAVs specifically designed for cargo and logistics operation Research and development used to further develop UAV technologies to be integrated into field deployed UAV aircraft Civil and Commercial UAVs UAVs specifically designed for civil and commercial applications
Uses of Drones. .. Aerial surveying of crops Acrobatic aerial footage Search and rescue Inspection of power lines/pipelines Counting wildlife What else would you use a drone for? Give me four different uses other than what is listed above for uses of a drone.
