"Are Drones our best friends?" by Nicola Marietti Close to 4.3 million drones were shipped worldwide in 2015, and with each drone sold, the risk of 'bad-drone' abuse increases. During those years unexpected convergent consequences explode onto the drone scene at once .A drone is an aerial robot that can be controlled remotely or autonomously, drones are now effective data gathering platforms, Computer vision, sense-and-avoid and optical tracking become standard in consumer drones. Are we safe from a little drone attack? How we can defend our site from this new threat. Security solutions are the big new deal the next future.

1. ARE DRONES OUR BEST FRIENDS?

2. Unexpected convergent consequences..

4. This is what happens when different exponential
technologies all explode onto the scene at once
An expert might be reasonably good at predicting
the growth of a single exponential technology (e.g.,
3D printing), but
Try to predict the future when AI, robotics, VR, IoT
and computation are all doubling, morphing and
recombining.

5. You have a
very exciting (read: unpredictable) future

6. drone = opportunity
or
drone = threat
Try to solve:

7. A drone is an aerial robot that can be controlled remotely or
autonomously.
Over the past few years, a technological tipping point, driven by the
smartphone electronics industry, has demonetized the price of drones and
democratized their use for everyone.
The cost of MEMs, accelerometers and gyroscopes have dropped 10 to 100-
fold at the same time that cheap and powerful microcontrollers enable low-
cost and powerful navigational control systems.

8. As a result, we now have drones that
everyone can use, and companies like
DJI, Parrot, 3D Robotics are enabling
both a consumer and entrepreneurial
drone renaissance
With the addition of next-generation
sensors and high bandwidth
communications, drones are now
effective data gathering platforms
used by the Construction, Agriculture,
Oil & Gas and Security industries.

9. Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

10. 1 - Drones go into mainstream business
Over the past few years, drones have moved from the
"government phase" to the "consumer phase" into the
"commercial phase"
In the consumer phase, the drone was more toy than tool.
The video capabilities and simple flight interfaces made them
fun and accessible.
But more recently, these toys have been rapidly turning into
tools, and we're thinking of them now as
"sensors in the sky."
Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

14. 1 - Drones go into mainstream business
It's like we forget about the drone.
Now, we are just connecting a sensor to the cloud and that
sensor's in the air.
It's below the satellites and above street view.
Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

15. With today's drones you get connectivity, you get the cloud, and if
you architect your system correctly, the drone is just an extension of
the Internet.”
When you distribute the computational task between these three
things (the drone, the cloud, and the Internet), you get a very
powerful platform that can do an extraordinary number of things.
think of it as extending the App Store into the sky!
Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015
2. Consumer drones run distributed computation, running apps
on drone, phone and cloud simultaneously.

16. Drones are very powerful computing platforms.
They now have built-in, Linux-based, computer vision technology.
They look like toys (and you can use them as toys), but they're really flying AI
platforms, and this is just the beginning.
Right now we're doing 1 gigahertz but with these converging technologies,
we're going to be moving to multicore, multi-gigahertz GraphiCPUs, the works
and they're going to be selling for less than a thousand bucks.

3. Powerful onboard Linux processors appear on sub-
$1,000 drones

17. Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015
4. Prices for autonomous GPS-guided drones fall 50% (US $500),
go mass-market retail
Drones are demonetizing
rapidly.
Ten years ago, drones were
million-dollar
military/industrial things.
Today they are on the
shelves of Walmart. But it
didn't stop there...

18. So what's in store for the near future?
Here are predictions for the most exciting, disruptive developments coming in drone
technology over the next three years. As investors, these are the areas you should be
focusing on, as the business opportunities are tremendous.
Drones are powerful
Drones are avaiable
Drones are performing

19. Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 2018
The next big breakthrough in drone research will be sense-and-
avoid.
Right now, drones are either manually piloted or GPS piloted,
but as we integrate them into our urban fabric, they'll need
true autonomy.
Drones will need to have eyes.
Sensors like radar, LiDAR, stereo vision, sonar, and they'll need
to use this to autonomously avoid obstacles and fly.
It's environmental awareness and it is necessary to safely
navigate worlds they've never explored.
1. Computer vision, sense-and-avoid and optical tracking

20. Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 2018
2. Major software companies integrate drone data into core
offerings, taking "reality capture" mainstream
It's really hard to digitize the physical world!
Satellites are too high, and two-thirds of the planet's covered by clouds at
any given point in time.
Street View is limited to the street.
The way we're going to digitize the planet is by putting sensors out there on
drones, with anywhere/anytime access to the sky.
Once we do that, we'll create the biggest big data opportunity we've ever
seen.
Autodesk, Salesforce, ESRI, Google, etc. want to take that data and turn it
into analytics to track all kinds of things, like how things change.

21. Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 2018
3. Drones surpass satellites in amount of data gathered and used
A transition is happening!
Earth observation started in the space age with
satellites.
We're going to see drones become the main way that
we digitize the planet from the air thanks to the
avaiability of different sensors.
Satellites are going to be complimentary, covering big
areas but at lower resolution."

22. Both Amazon, Google, Facebook, Inter, Qualcomm have announced
their strategy in the drone industry.

23. View in the future
What might a standard drone look like, when we lifted all limits in the near future?
Presumably, this drone would be an autonomous flying machine - modular constructed,
equipped with a variety of sensors and tools, available in any sizes, incredibly fast, with
unimaginable capacity and boundless energy.
It could become an everyday part of our society.

24. drone = opportunity
or
drone = threat
Try to solve:

25. There is hardly any other technology currently developing as fast as drone technology.
However, the increase in drone efficiency also means more opportunities to misuse them
for criminal purposes. When your airspace is exposed, no longer are fences, video cameras,
and security guards adequate to protect sensitive buildings or personal.
The drones (UAVs) are representing a new threat to the security system.
Detection of these drones has become an important factor for the maintenance of the
security.
The main drivers of this growth are increased security incidences by the unidentified
drones and use of drones for terrorist activities.

It's just a matter of time before someone
is caught using drones to compromise the
security of communications networks.
Drones can fly undetected in places
people never had physical access to,
which puts every company at risk, from
data centers to financial institutions
Drones = threat
Reasons Why

30. Drones a Growing Threat to Network Security
http://www.lightreading.com/drones/drones-a-growing-threat-to-network-security/d/d-id/721225
One example shown at
last year's DefCon show is
a device called Aerial
Assault, a drone designed
to find and pinpoint the
location of (via GPS)
unsecured networks. The developers intend to
market it shortly at an
expected cost of $2,500.

31. At their core, drones are little more than computers that fly. At DEFCON, the large
hacker conference held annually in Las Vegas, David Jordan of Aerial Assault
revealed a drone that can swoop down and break into computer networks.
On board the drone, an ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi computer runs Kali Linux, an
aggressive cybersecurity diagnostic tool that looks for weaknesses in the systems it
attacks. Set up as a security testing tool, with some reconfiguring it could go from a
testing device to an actual weapon.
The Aerial Assault drone looks for unsecured networks, and using its onboard GPS it
records the locations of the targets and relays that information back to the remote
pilot. The pilot can then decide whether to use Kali Linux to, say, hack into the
network's servers.

32. using Wi-Fi and connecting to an unsecured network port on the
drone itself. With a simple text command, Satterfield, a
researcher, sends a hovering drone crashing to the ground.
Drone companies are not known for their cybersecurity finesse.
Twice at this year’s annual hacker conference DEFCON, presenters demonstrated hacks
on the Parrot drone.

33. Man arrested for landing 'radioactive' drone on Japanese Prime Minister's roof
The drone was discovered on the roof by an official, who was giving a tour of the
building to new employees.
Governments around the world are struggling with how to regulate the use of drones,
which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and affordable - Japan has set up a
taskforce to deal control the use of drones, in an effort to protect public buildings from
the security threat.
40-year old Yasuo Yamamoto turned himself in to police late on Friday night, claiming
he landed the drone on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's roof in protest against the
Japanese government's nuclear energy policy.
Fukui is home to around a quarter of Japan's 48 nuclear reactors - all are offline after
the 2011 Fukushima disaster, but Mr Abe's government wants to restart as many of
the reactors as possible.
The small drone, which was equipped with a camera, was also carrying a plastic
bottle which Yamamoto says was filled with sand from Fukushima, where radiation
levels are still high after the tsunami-trigged meltdown of the Fukushima Dai-ichi
power plant

34. Anti-Drone Market by Technology (Laser System, Traditional
Kinetic System, Electronics System), Vertical (Military and
Defense, Commercial, Homeland Security), and Region (North
America, Europe, APAC, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2022
March 2016
The anti-drone market is expected to reach USD 1.14 Billion by 2022 and is expected to grow
at a CAGR of 23.89% between 2017 and 2022.
The key drivers responsible for this are increased security breach incidences by the
unidentified drones and increased terrorism and illicit activities.
The use of drones for border trespassing and smuggling has increased, thereby resulting into
border security concern. This is a key factor driving the demand for anti-drone systems in the
military and defense vertical.

March 2016
As the anti-drone system technology is fairly new in the market, the technologies used to
manufacture the anti-drone systems are not very popular. On the other hand, the market
players who are introducing these new technologies are planning to patent it. Moreover, the
cost incurred in research and development aspect is quite high due to the use of laser and
other costly technologies.
