Some definitions are useful. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is classified as an aircraft, which has no pilot onboard. An Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is the unmanned aircraft (UA) and all of the associated support equipment, control station, data links, telemetry, communications and navigation equipment, etc., necessary to operate the unmanned aircraft. In contrast, an Unmanned Aircraft (UA) is solely the flying portion of the system, flown by a pilot via a ground control system, or autonomously through use of an on-board computer, communication links and any additional equipment that is necessary for the UA to operate safely. Currently the FAA regulations specify the take-off weight must be no more than 55 pounds. All of these vehicles and systems, which do not have a pilot onboard, are known as drones.
