This topic deals with different types of drones that are good at their skills in fulfilling the human needs and in improving work environment by taking part in the modernization.

DRONES
Definition
drone :
A drone, in a technological context, is an unmanned aircraft.
Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Essentially, a drone is
a flying robot. The aircraft may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through
software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.
UAVs have most often been associated with the military but they are also used for search
and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting, among other
things.

Advantages:
Acts As Lifesaver: Droneshave come a long way in saving the lives of military personnel, as
they are unmanned and even if they are hunted down, no lives are lost.
They Are CheapAnd Cost-Effective:Thisisperhapsthe mostsignificantadvantage of drones,
theyare cheapand easyto maintainthannormal aircrafts. The cost of fuel is also reduced in
case of drones.
ReducedRisk:Dronespose lesserthreatstomilitaryhardware, due to their smaller size than
mainstream aircrafts. They can also fly at a much lower altitude.

No FixedHours Of Operation:The unmannednature of drones,givesthemlonger operational
hours and they can work with absolutely no fatigue. The controlling personnel can be
changed after a given time span.
Drones Are Dead Accurate: Drones have high accuracy when they are operating from high
altitudes; this reduces any harm that may have been caused to the normal people or
buildings.
Same Deadliness:Theymaybe small andcompact,butthat doesn’t reduce the deadliness of
drones in fighting the enemy when compared to other fighter planes.

A Great Tool For Surveillance:It is only recently that drones are used in warfare, but before
that they were successfully used in spying and helped in aiding military intelligence.
Easier To Deploy: Deploying drones is much easier than other available options.
The Constraints:
The Ability Of Drones Is Limited: Everything has its own share of disadvantages and drones
are also no exception. They help in surveillance true but they cannot establish
communication with the people for far reached intelligence. Abandoned war equipments
can’t be captured by drones.

HinderingCivilianLife:Dronesusedinwarfare canresultinlossof humanity, they can hinder
normal lifestyle of the people and can damage property.
Use Of Drones In Military Purposes Are Not Taken In A Good Sense By The People: The use
of drones can destabilize and people take it as part of an encroachment, when lives of the
common people are lost and damage is done, this tactic is viewed as an cold – hearted
approach.
Its Easy OperationBlurs The Line Of Ethics:We have seen it many popular video games, that
drones are used to attack, using it in warfare blurs the line of ethics, mainly due to its easy
usage.

Hard Time For The Operators: The people who control the drones find it very difficult in
