Unmanned Aircraft Systems (also known as UA, UAS, UAV, and Drone) are categorized as Group 1 (mini and micro systems) through Group 5 strategic-level assets. Groups are based on speed, operating altitude, and weight. In general, the larger the platform the more robust the capabilities. The Department of Defense defines sUAS as the first three groups, as highlighted in red below. The sUAS category encompasses most commercial/recreational use sUAS available to the public.
