What does sUAS stand for?

• A. Small Unmanned Aerial System
• B. Small Utility Aerial Service
• C. Surveillance Unmanned Aerial System
• D. Systematic Unmanned Aerial Strategy

Answer: (A)

sUAS refers to a Small Unmanned Aerial System. The key is that it describes the whole setup used for flight, not just the drone itself. “Small” indicates the size class, “Unmanned” means no pilot aboard the aircraft, “Aerial” points to the flight portion, and “System” covers the complete package—aircraft plus the control links and ground station. The other options mix in terms like “Aircraft,” “Utility,” “Surveillance,” or “Strategy,” which don’t reflect the established naming convention for this category.
