Unmanned - ANSWERSNot having or needing a crew or person to operate
Aerial - ANSWERSExisting, happening, or operating in the air
System - ANSWERSA group of related parts that move or work together to perform a specific
task
Airframe - ANSWERSThe structure of an aircraft without the power plant
Fixed Wing - ANSWERSAn aircraft capable of flight using wings that generate lift caused by the
vehicle's forward airspeed and the shape of the wings
Multi-rotor - ANSWERSA UAS with more than two rotors
Computer Control - ANSWERSTo direct the actions or function of (something) using a computer
program
Radio Control - ANSWERSControlled remotely using radio signals from a transmitter
Unmanned Aerial System - ANSWERSA collection of electronics, motors, and propeller(s)
mounted on an airframe, can be controlled through a 'pilot' from the ground or increasingly,

RQ-1 Predator - ANSWERSBuilt by General Atomics and used primarily by the United States Air
Force (USAF) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), initially conceived in the early 1990s for
aerial reconnaissance and forward observation roles, the Predator carries cameras and other
sensors but has been modified and upgraded to carry and fire two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles or
other munitions
RQ-2 Pioneer - ANSWERSWas placed aboard Iowa-class battleships to provide gunnery spotting,
its mission evolving into reconnaissance and surveillance, primarily for amphibious forces,
developed jointly by AAI Corporation and Israel Aircraft Industries.
