Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have become one of the most important technologies in modern warfare.

Unlike traditional aircraft, drones can operate without a pilot inside the vehicle. They are controlled remotely or by autonomous systems.

Military drones are used for:

• Surveillance and intelligence gathering
• Target tracking
• Precision strikes
• Border monitoring

Because drones reduce risk to human pilots and can operate for long hours, many countries are heavily investing in drone technology.
