The given slides provide the information on the evolution of UAV in Japan and it's scope in the coming time. The slides previews about the drone startups and famous drones build in Japan.

2.  It has been more than fifteen years in the history
of UAVs in Japan when the unmanned
helicopters were first developed and introduced
an efficient way of supplementing the manned
helicopters being used to spray pesticides on rice
fields.
 Later, as unmanned helicopters became more
useful and the social environment surrounding
agriculture changed, the number of unmanned
helicopters surged.

3.  In recent years, unmanned helicopters have found
applications in pesticide spraying, aerial seeding, and
observation of volcanoes (like Mt. Usu and Miyake
Island).
 Recently, the natural disasters occurring in Japan
have led to an increase in the number of ways that
unmanned helicopters are being used outside of the
traditional agricultural field, such as in observation
of geological features and landslides.

4.  The Japan Agricultural Aviation Association
under the auspices of the Ministry of
Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of
Japan, sets standards governing the use of
unmanned helicopters for agricultural
applications. including pilot training and
aircraft registration. An Unmanned
Helicopter Consortium was formed in 2002
by the companies Fuji Heavy Industries
Ltd., Kawada Industries, Inc., Yamaha
Motor Co., Ltd, and Yanmar Agricultural
Equipment Co., Ltd. involved in the
development, manufacture, and utilization
of unmanned helicopters.

5.  They have been investigating standardized safety guidelines, with
guidance from the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry,
concerning the use of unmanned helicopters in applications other
than the agricultural sector. The formulation of “low altitude”
safety guidelines for unmanned helicopters in commercial use over
unpopulated areas was completed by the Consortium in the year
2004.
 In future, it will be necessary for the manufacturers, users, and
people involved in research, marketing, operation and other aspects
of UAVs to work together to ensure practical and uniform
implementation of the relevant safety guidelines. It will be
necessary to implement safety standards for all unmanned aircraft,
especially the unmanned fixed-wing aircraft. Therefore the
expansion of the Unmanned Helicopters Consortium was
discontinued as Japan witnessed the formation of the Japan UAV
Association (JUAV).

6.  The first unmanned helicopters for agricultural use were
introduced in Japan more than ten years ago and today the
unmanned aircraft is an efficient and adaptive tool to the
social environment surrounding agriculture. The agricultural
sector is deployed with more than 2000 unmanned industrial
helicopters today. This is a field in which further expansion
and development are expected of Japan as a world leader in
the industrial sector.

7.  The traditional realm of unmanned aircraft
has its operators limited to the range of
direct visibility. However, the remarkable
technological advances have enabled fully
autonomous flight for unmanned aircraft,
thereby broadening the possibilities for an
unmanned flight far beyond the visible
range, to altitudes and airspaces which were
formerly accessible only by manned aircraft.
The remote-controlled computerized system
has enabled unmanned aircraft to be used in
fields such as observation of volcanoes and
typhoons.

9. It is the Aerospace Department of Kawasaki Heavy
Industries and one of Japan’s first aircraft industries. It is
involved in the production of aircraft, space systems,
simulators, jet engines, missiles, and electronic equipment.
It has developed numerous aircraft for the Imperial
Japanese Army, Japan Air Self-Defense Force, and Japan
Maritime Self Defense Force. It was founded in 1918.
Kawasaki is a prime contractor of Japanese Ministry of
Defense. It is in the commercial aviation business involved
in the joint international development and production of
large passenger aircraft, Boeing, 170, 175, 190, and 195
jets, turbofan engines. It also develops and manufactures
payload fairings, and Payload Attach Fittings (PAF). It
works for the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. It
provides services to the H-IIA rocket.

10. It was established in 2001. They released the humanoid robot PINO as
their first product. The humanoid robots Nuvo and Miuro were
introduced in the years 2005 and 2006 respectively. It became a
member of the 'Association for Market Creation of the Future
Generation Robots' to promote the diffusion of robotic technologies in
everyday life. It formed a joint venture – “Aerosense” with Sony in
2015 to build commercial drones for survey and inspection of remote
areas.

11. It manufactures multi-copters
for commercial applications
like land survey, infrastructure
inspection, security, and
agriculture spraying. It was
involved in a project to test
long-range drone control
where they tested the cellular
LTE network.

12. It provides a number of UAV systems, from fixed wing to
helicopter and multi-copter. The Martin line of multi-copter
includes the S-I and M-II models. The M-II for transportation
infrastructure inspection comes with support for various
sensors, including thermal and near infrared and RGB
cameras, while the S-I is made for aerial photography
applications with support for various models of RGB and
infrared cameras.

13. It manufactures the Yoroi and Kabuto line of UAV multi-
copters. The Yoroi, which includes a new carbon shell design, is a
heavy lifting model with two versions that have maximum payload
specs of 10kg (22 lbs) and 35kg (77 lbs), and coming with massive
wingspans of 1,790mm and 2,400mm, respectively.
The Kabuto is Saitotec’s other working drone series which utilizes
carbon plating and folding rotor arms for compact transportation. It
comes in 4 to 8 rotor versions, with max payload specs of from 2.8kg
(6 lbs) to a massive 35kg (77 lbs), and max flight times of 20 to 40
minutes.

14. It produced the small camera,
waterproof drone PD4-
AW capable of a water landing
to the 20kg (44 lbs) payload
possible. Prodrone also has
developed the PD6B-AW-
ARM, a version of the PD6B-
AW, equipped with two
internally-developed robotic
arms, enabling it to accomplish
a variety of tasks.

15. It is a joint venture between Sony and ZMP Inc for
the development of drone-based inspection services.
The current platform built for their service is the AS-
