Now, there are much more than 130 types of UAV and some of them are able to carry air to ground missiles. Countries are using these for exploration the enemy territory. They are capable of listening enemy radio signal and solving them. It is logical to use them because, there is no risk to lose a pilot and it is harder to detect them at radar scope and also hard to intercept it with a jet. Functions of a UAV are : Remote sensing,Transport,Scientific research,Precision strikes,Search and rescue These are the classification of UAV's : * Handheld 2,000 ft (600 m) altitude, about 2 km range * Close 5,000 ft (1,500 m) altitude, up to 10 km range * NATO type 10,000 ft (3,000 m) altitude, up to 50 km range * Tactical 18,000 ft (5,500 m) altitude, about 160 km range * MALE (medium altitude, long endurance) up to 30,000 ft (9,000 m) and range over 200 km * HALE (high altitude, long endurance) over 30,000 ft and indefinite range * HYPERSONIC high-speed, supersonic (Mach 1-5) or hypersonic (Mach 5+) 50,000 ft (15,200 m) or suborbital altitude, range over 200km * ORBITAL low earth orbit (Mach 25+) * CIS Lunar Earth-Moon transfer UAV ( Unmanned Air Vehicle) will take the place of today’s most developed air fighters at the next step.
