I think you meant to write UAV for "unmanned aerial vehicle",<br>
since AUV is an abbreviation for "autonomous underwater vehicle".<br>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've had a request to extend the platform type (L06) to
include an additional child entry under 'non-buoyant aircraft'
for unmanned aerial vehicles, sometimes referred to as drones.
These are a platform type that has entered scientific (as
opposed to military)
use since the vocabulary was last revised and so an extension
seems reasonable. The simplest approach to take would be to
add:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>remotely piloted aircraft</div>
<div>RPA</div>
<div>A heavier-than-air aircraft without a human pilot aboard
that is controlled remotely by a human pilot. Also referred to
as a drone or unmanned aerial vehicle (AUV).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This leaves the way open for autonomous aircraft as a
future L06 addition should the associated legal and liability
issues be resolved. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Comments or alternative suggestions?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers, Roy.</div>
