Abstract
Unmanned aerial vehicles, otherwise known as drones, are unmanned aircraft that uses radio control equipment and an independent program control device. This includes unmanned helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft, multi-rotor aircraft, unmanned airships, and parawings. A broad definition also includes adjacent space vehicles (20 to 100 km airspace) such as stratospheric airships, high-altitude balloons, and solar unmanned aerial vehicles. This chapter does not discuss unmanned aerial vehicles in the broad sense, but instead specifically refers to unmanned aircraft that are equipped with artificial intelligence and other information and communication technologies.
