An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a type of aircraft that does not carry a pilot and can be remotely controlled or operate autonomously according to a pre-programmed flight plan. With advances in technology, these systems have increasingly been adopted in both military and civilian applications. An armed unmanned aerial vehicle (A-UAV) is a variant of the UAV equipped with weapon systems. In addition to the reconnaissance and surveillance capabilities of standard UAVs, A-UAVs can also perform
