摘要:Radio Controlled aircraft models which were first made in 1930 in USA are the forerunners of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). UAVs/drones/RPVs (Remotely Piloted Vehicles) are becoming an extremely important part of modern warfare. These are mostly being used for ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) and ELINT (Electronic Intelligence) tasks. RPVs enable troops on the ground to see across a street/beyond the hill, in close vicinity or wider areas of interest comprising hundreds of km. RPVs can be also gainfully used in anti terrorist operations and help in ensuring port and border security as also for policing and internal security applications.
