Acronyms for noobs, Tx, Rx, Fpv

[Ozzyguy]

Ok so all the jargon can be quite daunting for beginers. Tx = transmitter Rx=receiver, FPV = first person view.
LOS is line of sight(Not site thats a location)
Just a few to start the conversation.
So beginners any questions on acronyms that are stumping you?
More experienced people can tell what tripped them up or like me ask what is AUW stand for? Any help appreciated

Great work Irish. Those first two ive never come across. DO you know what AUW is I assume its All Up Weight?
Normally for aircraft it would be airborne underslung weight

sUAS = small unmanned aircraft system -> what the FAA calls what we fly.

UAV = Unmanned aerial vehicle

VLOS = Visual line of sight

BLOS = Beyond line of sight

IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit
VTx - Video Transmitter
VRx - Video Receiver

Would someone do all the aeronautical abbreviations
AGL
ASL
AMSL
NMR - I think it's Nautical Miles Radius

Battery notations ?
C
MaH or is it MAh or mAH
VDC

IMU - Inertial Measurement Unit
VTx - Video Transmitter
VRx - Video Receiver

Would someone do all the aeronautical abbreviations
AGL = Above Ground Level
ASL = Above Sea Level. Also called called MSL for Mean Sea Level
AMSL = Above mean sea level, usually just called MSL
NMR - I think it's Nautical Miles Radius = Yep

Battery notations ?
C = Capacity. Charge rate of 1C for a 5,200 mAh pack is 5.2 amps
MaH or is it MAh or mAH = mAh = milliamp-hour = capacity of the pack.
VDC = voltage DC
