What type of technological feature does geofencing provide for a UAS?

Geofencing provides a means of restricting flight within set areas, which is crucial for ensuring safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. This technology acts as a virtual barrier that defines specific geographic boundaries where a UAS can or cannot operate. When a drone approaches the predefined geofenced area, it can trigger alerts or prevent the UAS from entering that space altogether. This is especially important in protecting sensitive locations such as airports, military zones, and other restricted areas where unauthorized drone operations could pose risks to people or critical infrastructure.

The other options do not accurately describe the primary function of geofencing. Enhancements to video recording, increased battery life, and altitude maintenance are unrelated to the capabilities of geofencing technology. Geofencing is specifically designed to enhance safety and control in UAS operations.
