Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) classification is defined by the weight of the drone aircraft, its intended use, and capabilities. There are three primary classifications of UAS, including micro drones, small drones, and large drones. Micro drones are typically employed for hobby purposes such as aerial photography or in agriculture for plant analysis. Small drones find their applicability in security and surveillance operations, such as border patrol, cargo inspection, and law enforcement. Large drones can be used in a range of different applications, including aerial surveys, disaster management, firefighting, and humanitarian aid. Each classification offers unique features and delivers a distinct level of performance, which enables them to complement specific activities and tasks.
