For land forces, there are two main types of unmanned technologies whose roles differ on the battlefield. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), more commonly known as drones, are autonomous platforms with various payloads for diverse missions, performed in the air. Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) can be drones or robots when using feature specific extensions, like hydraulic arms, for completing complex tasks autonomously on the ground.

Thales' Mini UAS ISR Platforms deliver essential real-time intelligence, enabling artillery or loitering munitions to offer precision targeting in challenging conditions.
By combining drones of different types into autonomous swarms, their efficiency is multiplied while reducing both the cognitive burden on operators, as well as their numbers.
