• Autonomous UAVs: UAV chooses its mission parameters using a set of rules given by humans, but immediate decision of the aircraft cannot be predicted.
• Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA)�Aircraft controlled by a pilot off the aircraft (ICAO prefers RPA to UAV)�Due to the incompatibility, autonomous UAVs are not allowed in civil Airspace
