    A fixed-wing UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) with a twin-boom configuration is positioned on a dark launch pad in a flat, arid outdoor environment. The drone features white wings with orange-tipped ends and multiple propellers, suggesting a hybrid or multi-engine design. The surrounding terrain consists of bare dirt, gravel embankments, and vehicle tire tracks, with sparse trees visible on the horizon.

    A civilian drone sits idling as it awaits takeoff at Melrose, New Mexico, Aug. 17, 2018. Using advanced sensors and analytic software, the aircraft was used to monitor BNSF Railway’s right of way (its legal right to pass along areas that belong to outside parties).
