The document discusses the history and current/future applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It outlines early failed attempts by various militaries, then describes how UAVs are now used widely by militaries for surveillance. It lists several current civilian/commercial uses such as research, agriculture, mapping, and monitoring. The document predicts that future UAVs will be smaller, cheaper, more efficient, and potentially powered by "purple bacteria".
