A long list, showing off the versatility of modern UAVs very well, but has ", and combat" at the end. Would this role be better mentioned in the military origin and application section just before this? Is it already alluded to? 2A00:23C7:3100:B501:457D:F167:96E5:1AEF (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind i check the website, only difference is operating altitude Lcb321 (talk) 00:06, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could use a source of variety in design examples Lcb321 (talk) 00:33, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know the general understanding and usage of the term UAV commonly refers to "Unmanned Aerial Vehicle", and I'm not trying to stir trouble. But a serious question hit me today. Another editor made an edit which I felt was rather trifling on the AN/FPS-18 Radar article changing the phrase "unmanned radar facilities" to "unstaffed radar facilities", and said it was a MOS:GNL change. Intrigued by such a minor difference, I read up on the WP:MOS policy and wondered about its application across other articles. Made me think about obvious flaws in the usage of gender-neutral language, and my immediate thought led me to this article. Using MOS:GNL, should the article be moved to Unpiloted aerial vehicle? Seems absurd, but as I type this question, I see that a redirect of that name already exists... What a nutty world we live in. — TadgStirkland⁴⁰¹(Tadg^Talk-Email) 04:37, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, article names are governed by Wikipedia:Article titles. Since gender-neutrality is not mentioned there, WP:COMMON NAME applies. When "unstaffed" or "uncrewed" (another common suggestion) becomes more common in general use than "unmanned" would be the time to change the title. Wikipedia does not lead on usage, it follows the sources. Donald Albury 17:23, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am mildly surprised that the Ukrainian ptashka anti-drone net-shooting pistol gets no mention. Jim.henderson (talk) 20:31, 12 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
