An **unmanned aircraft system (UAS)** — commonly called a drone — is an aircraft flown with no pilot on board, controlled remotely or autonomously through a ground station and data link. The category spans palm-sized consumer quadcopters, long-endurance fixed-wing aircraft, and large commercial delivery and agricultural platforms, and larger or type-certificated UAS are registered as full aircraft in the FAA registry. This **"Unmanned Aircraft (Other)"** page is the catch-all for registered UAS whose specific model does not have a brand-specific ICAO type designator.
