to 2 kilograms;
(c) Small
unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 2 kilograms, but less than or
equal to 25 kilograms;
(d) Medium
unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 25 kilograms, but less than or
equal to 150 kilograms; and
Large unmanned aircraft system: weighing more than 150 kilograms.
