unmanned aerial vehicle
Let an agent handle civil drone use by category, rules, registration, safety and privacy, describing military systems only at a general, non-operational level.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent handle civil drone use by category, rules, registration, safety and privacy, describing military systems only at a general, non-operational level.
An aircraft without a human pilot on board, controlled remotely or autonomously, ranging from small consumer drones to large civil and military systems; also called a drone or uncrewed aircraft.
What it is for: Photography, inspection, mapping, delivery, research and other uses.
It can be check drone rules and registration; find no-fly zones; understand privacy obligations; report dangerous drone use.
Distinguishing features

What it looks like
Multirotor or fixed-wing aircraft of many sizes, with cameras or sensors.
Physical character
open category mass limit: under 25 kg - EU rules
