Unmanned Aerial Vehicle - UAV

Cybertech works with various UAV vendors to develop and integrate the UAVs to the command and control centre, and use advanced analytics to integrate vertical (UAV imagery) and horizontal (CCTV feed/imagery) feeds and extract the intelligence from the full network.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unpiloted aircraft. UAVs can be remote controlled or fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems. UAVs are currently used in a number of military roles, including reconnaissance and attack. They are also used in a small but growing number of civil applications such as firefighting when a human observer would be at risk, police observation of civil disturbances and crime scenes, and reconnaissance support in natural disasters. UAVs are often preferred for missions that are too "dull, dirty, or dangerous" for manned aircraft.


There is a wide variety of UAV shapes, sizes, configurations, and characteristics. A UAV is defined as capable of controlled, sustained, level flight and powered by a jet or reciprocating engine.

The abbreviation UAV has been expanded in some cases to UAVS (unmanned-aircraft vehicle system). The US Federal Aviation Administration has adopted the generic class unmanned aircraft system (UAS) originally introduced by the U.S. Navy to reflect the fact that these are not just aircraft, but systems, including ground stations and other elements.  

The UAV line can be used for a variety of tasks. A pictorial representation of UAV numerous applications is featured below:
