Type of vehicle

"Unmanned" redirects here. For other uses, see Unmanned (disambiguation).

Various uncrewed vehicles

An uncrewed vehicle or unmanned vehicle is a vehicle without a person on board. Uncrewed vehicles can either be under telerobotic control—remote controlled or remote guided vehicles—or they can be autonomously controlled—autonomous vehicles—which are capable of sensing their environment and navigating on their own.

## Types

[edit]

There are different types of uncrewed vehicles:[1]

* Remote control vehicle (RC), such as radio-controlled cars or radio-controlled aircraft
* Unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), such as the autonomous cars, or unmanned combat vehicles (UCGV)
* Self-driving truck
* Driverless tractor
* Unmanned ground and aerial vehicle (UGAV), unmanned vehicle with hybrid locomotion methods
* Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), unmanned aircraft commonly known as "drone"
* Unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV)
* Medium-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle (MALE)
* Miniature UAV (SUAV)
* Delivery drone
* Micro air vehicle (MAV)
* Target drone
* Autonomous spaceport drone ship
* Unmanned surface vehicle (USV), also known as "surface drone", for the operation on the surface of the water
* Unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), also known as "underwater drone", for the operation underwater
* Remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROUV)
* Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)
* Intervention AUV (IAUV)
* Underwater glider
* Uncrewed spacecraft, both remote controlled ("uncrewed space mission") and autonomous ("robotic spacecraft" or "space probe")
