Beyond the Marketing Terminology.
Manufacturers frequently describe their systems as military-grade, but appearance alone says very
little about whether an unmanned aircraft truly possesses military-grade capability. This paper
defines the real criteria.

unpredictable, infrastructure may be limited, and operational demands often exceed development
assumptions.
