- Drones are unmanned aircrafts, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A drone is essentially a flying robot that may be remotely controlled or can be programmed to fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans. Using GPS sensors and simple programming software, drones can be used for many useful functions that manned vehicles may not otherwise be suited for.
