The next generation of American UAV on display at the Farnborough Air
Show.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an unpiloted aircraft. UAVs can be
remote controlled or fly autonomously based on pre-programmed flight
plans or more complex dynamic automation systems. UAVs are currently
used in a number of military roles, including reconnaissance and
attack.

On Tuesday September 24th 2008 "A pilotless spy plane, we believe
it is US, crashed in Pakistani territory but it did not disintegrate.
Tribesmen picked it up and then Pakistani security forces retrieved
it," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP.
The Pentagon said it had no report of any crash, while the CIA
declined to comment. "We have no reports of any loss of DoD
(Department of Defense) drones," said Lieutenant Colonel Mark
Wright.
