3. What is a Drone??
 Drone is an
unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV)
controlled either
autonomously by
onboard computers or
by the remote control
of a pilot on the
ground or in another
vehicle.

4. The Drone Economics:
 The creation of quality, high-paying jobs
 Annual labour Income
 Taxes
 Total Output or revenues

5. How it Works
 Example: Amazon testing delivery by drone.
Idea would be deliver packages as quickly as
possible using small Unmanned Aircraft, through
a service company called Prime Air.

6. Areas of preferences
 Public Safety:
 Professional Fire Fighters.
 Volunteer Emergency Service Provider.
 Protect the Public.

7. Contd . . .
 Precision Agriculture:
 Two Segments: Remote Sensing and Precision Application.
 Remote Sensing:
 Scan Plants for Health Problems.
 Sensor attached ground vehicles or aerial vehicle.
 Precision Application:
 Crop Farmers.
 Horticulture.
 Spraying to Plants.(Inject nutrition to Plants)

8. Other civilian uses of Drones
 Remote sensing
 Radar and sensor attached
 EM, laser spectroscopy, chemical and biological
sensors
 Filmmaking
 Journalism
 Sports
 Eg. Winter 2014 Olympics

9. Contd..
 Disaster relief
 Search and rescue
 Delivering food and rescue items
 Scientific research
 Data collection at places where human entry is not
possible or too dangerous

10. Contd…
 Conservation
 Wildlife conservation, keeping counts of
endangered species
 Forest fire detection
 Freight transport
 Jeff Bezos’s plans of drone delivery in 60 mins
 Oil and gas exploration
 Geological and geomagnetic surveys

11. But is it all??
 FAA(Federal Aviation Administration) is still
considering the regulations
 What happens to present aerospace industry,
infrastructure, workforce training, engg. And
operations etc
 How many present jobs lost – cost cutting
 Warfare drone uses

12. Conclusion
 Technology growth brings speed and efficiency.
 Drones can reach areas inaccessible to mankind.
 Precision is improved.
 Human errors are eliminated.
