Drones
CBSNEWS could have at least did their homework properly. The segment was to be about "Drones" but I do NOT believe a drone was even shown. They also referred to them as "Vehicles". There is strike two. Please CBS and Anyone reading this understand that the small aircraft shown with camera's are NOT Drones! The proper name to refer to them is "UAS" which stands for Unmanned Aerial Systems. In describing a "UAS" one could such words as Model Aircraft, Multicopter, Multirotor, Some make the mistake as calling them UAV's but they are not Vehicles. A vehicle is something that carries passengers or cargo. Drones are UAV's that are on a much larger scale and they do carry weapon's, radar, and more. They are flying vehicles. The "UAS" is what hobbyist use. We have used them locally to get medicine to a elderly woman during flood season. Another could not be reached due to a mudslide. A "UAS" was used to fly a fresh battery for stranded couple to use. CBS needs to do a follow up segment on the positive aspects of UAS's.
