According to a report, many drones repeatedly swarmed over Navy destroyers off the California coast in July 2019. It remains unclear who was behind the brazen nighttime flights.
How did inexplicable drones violate restricted airspace again & again over several Navy warships off the coast of California & then disappear into the night?
Our latest on UAVs and #UAPs is this morning on NBCNewsNow. Is it just the battlegroup being tested against an asymmetrical threat/USAP test prior to SCS deployment?
What do you think the UAPs (drones) are?
What Are Drones?
An uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) or uncrewed aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board.
UAVs are components of a UAS or unmanned aircraft system. It includes a UAV and a ground-based controller.
Moreover, also a system of communications between the two.
Uncrewed aerial vehicles’ flight can operate with various degrees of autonomy: either under remote control by a human pilot (operator) or autonomously by onboard computers, referred to as an autopilot.
Compared to crewed aircraft, UAVs were originally used for missions too “dull, dirty, or dangerous” for humans.
While drones mainly originated in military applications, their use is rapidly finding many more applications, including aerial photography, product deliveries, agriculture, policing and surveillance, infrastructure inspections, science, smuggling, and drone racing.
The name unmanned aircraft system (UAS) was adopted by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) and also the United States Federal Aviation Administration in 2005, according to their Unmanned Aircraft System Roadmap 2005–2030.
