4. HOW’S IT HELPFUL ?
Over the past few years, unmanned aircrafts have
become central to the functions of various businesses and
governmental organizations and have managed to pierce
through areas where certain industries were either
stagnant or lagging behind. From quick deliveries at rush
hour to scanning an unreachable military base, drone
features are proving to be extremely beneficial in places
where man cannot reach or is unable to perform in a
timely and efficient manner.
5. Whether these unmanned aircrafts are controlled by a
remote or accessed via a smartphone app, they possess the
capability of reaching the most remote areas with little to no
manpower needed and require the least amount of effort,
time, and energy. This is one of the biggest reasons why
they are being adopted worldwide, especially by these four
sectors: Military, Commercial, Personal, and Future
Technology. Military areas to luring hobbyists throughout the
world, drone technology has developed and prospered in the
last few years.
6. Increasing work efficiency and productivity, decreasing
workload and production costs, improving accuracy, refining
service and customer relations, and resolving security
issues on a vast scale are a few of the top uses drones offer
industries globally. Adoption of drone technology across
industries leapt from the fad stage to the mega-trend stage
fairly quickly as more and more businesses started to realize
its potential, scope, and scale of global reach.
7. Individuals, commercial entities, and governments have
come to realize that drones have multiple useful features,
which include:
Arial Photography
Express Shipping and Delivery
Gathering information or supplying essentials for disaster
management.
Thermal Sensors for Search and Rescue Operations
Geographic Mapping of inaccessible Terrain and
Locations
8. Building Safety Inspections.
Precision crop Monitoring.
Unmanned Cargo Transport
Law Enforcement and border control Surveillance
Storm Tracking and Forecasting Hurricanes and
Tornadoes.
Development of hundreds of more uses of drones are
underway due to the multiple investments pouring into this
promising industry everyday.
9. Impact on Society
In addition to
emergency response,
drones have proved
useful during times of
natural disaster. In the
aftermath of hurricanes
and earthquakes, UAVs
have been used to
assess damage, locate
victims, and deliver aid.
And in certain
circumstances, they are
helping to prevent
disasters altogether.
10. WHILE MILITARY DRONES HAVE BEEN USED FOR
OVER A DECADE (THE PREDATOR UAV IS AMONG THE
MOST WELL KNOWN), SMALLER, PORTABLE DRONES
ARE NOW BEING USED BY GROUND FORCES ON A
REGULAR BASIS
In addition to the use
of new aerial
technologies,
militaries continue to
use unmanned ground
vehicles, or UGVs, to
lead tactical initiatives.
11. Poaching and climate change
have a dramatic impact on the
health of wildlife worldwide.
Thousands of species are
estimated to go extinct each year,
according to the World Wildlife
Fund. To help combat this trend,
conservationists are adopting
innovative methods to protect and
study our global ecosystems. In
combination with geospatial
imagery, drones are now used to
monitor and track animals.
12. Tracking animals also allows researchers to track disease.
Drones with thermal imaging cameras have been used by
the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine to
track macaque movements in the province of Palawan in the
Philippines — a region where malaria is an active threat.
Farmers across the world are continuously striving to reduce
costs and expand yields.
With the use of drones, agricultural workers are able to
gather data, automate redundant processes, and improve
efficiency.
13. DRONES HAVE BEEN BENEFICIAL IN CAPTURING
PICTURES OF HIGH-VALUE PROPERTIES, SHOWING
THAT EVEN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY CAN BE
UPENDED BY DRONE TECHNOLOGY.
