Also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or unmanned aerial system (UAS), adroneis an aircraft that operates by an onboard computer and GPS, a remote control device, and/or an app on a computer or mobile device. Most are equipped with autopilot, a high-resolution camera, and real-time video. The drone pilot, or operator, manages the controls from the ground and can watch the drone by viewing a display attached to the base station. Insurance companies use drones to survey storm damage to buildings and property. Farmers create aerial maps to manage crop watering and fertilizing. Military uses of drones include surveillance of areas into which it would be unsafe to send personnel, to supply deliveries to combat areas, and even to detonate weapons.

Drones have been cited in instances where a person's privacy is invaded, as a drone can look through a window or over a person's yard in ways that may be hard to detect or notice. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations limit the height a drone can fly, and state that the drone must stay within the operator's line of sight; further, it cannot venture over airports or populated areas.
