In accordance with the present dependence on UAVs and Drones, these Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have proved them a great asset. These UAVs are expected to serve a great role in almost every field like military, agriculture, police, disaster management, industrial management, educational field etc. in the coming future which has been described in the given slides.
2. With the advancement in the drone technology, some might
think that drones could become the most dangerous and
annoying devices on earth, which could be true in most of the
cases without proper protections.
The same drones that we are using for food and product
delivery could be used to transfer bombs and other illegal
materials.
3. Eventually, with the impleme-
-ntation of proper monitoring,
powerful law and security, the
p positive aspects and pros of
this technology will outweigh
the cons and the right systems would be developed to
make it all workable.
As we move ahead on this path, we’ll be unleashing
millions of new opportunities and start-ups which will
drive the economy for decades to come.
4. There may be various future applications in the fields of
Disaster Aid and Healthcare, Natural Science and
Research, Journalism and Photography, Early Warning
System and Emergency Services, Marketing and
Business Activity Monitoring, Gaming and Sporting,
Farming and Agriculture, Military and Spy Uses,
Educational and Library and many other fields.
5. It’s a really difficult task to search for the
survivors in cases of calamities like floods,
wildfires, or nuclear fallout, as in these types
of emergency situations the aid workers are
required to put their own lives at risk. So to
handle situations like this drone technology
could be utilized as various drones can be
built to fly smartly in any environment and
withstand extreme temperatures and
radiation.
6. Also, with the help of the camera, better perspective
can be obtained when searching
for the victims in areas of low visibility.
Moreover, drones can be used
by the healthcare workers to
deliver medicine, vaccines,
and care packages to the
people at remote locations.
Already a team led by George Barbastathis is working
on the same.
7. In the field of healthcare the different drones would serve
various tasks:
Canary Drones could be used to
test the air quality inside mines.
Body Sphere Monitoring can
be done by the swarm of micro
drones which will monitor any
changes in a person’s energy field.
8. Hovering Health Monitors could be able to do the Real-
time tracking, measuring, and analysis of body
movements
Infectious Disease Monitoring Drone that will give an
alert whenever there is a close proximity with someone
carrying a contagious disease.
9. The small size and the ability of drone to go through the
tight locations which may be out of reach for humans
helps to explore the moments and scenarios that we’ve
never seen before and thus play a major role in the
research and discovery.
Drones can come out to be a great resource to study
natural science.
10. In Archeology, the structures beneath the desert floor could be
uncovered using drones equipped with heat-sensing cameras to
obtain the thermal images, which helped the researchers to
locate the buried structures.
In making Wildlife documentary by chasing specific animals
(Whale Watching, Bird Migration, Tiger family etc.) for
months and capture the amazing and most rare shots which
could otherwise be quite dangerous.
11. As NASA already have sent a drone to examine the
interactions between water vapour and the ozone layer.
In the future, it is probable to
send drones down into the depths
of the earth.
Similarly, the analysis of Forest
health, Ocean Currents, Aurora Borealis and monitoring of
solar flare and earth noise could be done by the drone
technology with greater precision.
12. Drones have been already started
to be used for information
gathering purposes and could be
evolved to be used in crime
scenes, natural disasters, and
other hard-to-film events.
13. The journalism drones will highlight their
presence and would be widely effective
once the ban on drone use in populated
areas is lifted, which could be possible
with the proper and secure management in
future.
In journalism, drones could be used for
the Accident/Incident Monitoring, as
Time-Lapse Weather Drones to capture
the big picture over a period of time from
virtually any angle, to address gathering,
to interview common people on the street,
as Locker Room Drones to do rapid
interviews with athletes after their event
and as a Real-Time Stats Drone.
14. Whereas in the field of photography the drones have already
begun to show their involvement as in Real Estate Photography
and professional photography of beautiful scenes.
15. To provide the early warning of the upcoming disaster
drones would be equipped with the required sensor
swarms capable of detecting tiny changes to our
atmosphere and provide a warning about the
corresponding disaster like Earthquake, Hurricane,
Tsunami and Tornado.
16. Moreover the drone will be capable of providing the
emergency services and could serve as:
Forest Fire Preventers (using Infrared
sensors)
Avalanche Preventer (using
thermo-sensors)
Missing human Drone (to track
missing human)
17. Insect Killing Drones
Endangered Species Drone (which signals when any
endangered species faces danger)
Missing Pet drone to find the missing pet and many will
pay dearly to find a missing pet.
18. For the Marketing purpose, drones could be used
ahead for:
Spot Advertising (Projecting momentary
images in front of the target audience)
Subliminal Advertising (Projecting artistic
images each with hidden messages)
Banner Pulling Drones
Flying Strobe Drones (To draw a crowd)
Multimedia Formations (Swarms morphing
and shape-shifting into giant three-dimensional
logos).
19. The drone could also be used to enhance the business
performance by monitoring business activity like:

Personal Trainer Drones (that will guide you for a proper work out)
Marathon Trackers (that will follow the progress from miles away.
24. As the cost of operating drones drops,
they will reach a point of efficiency
where it becomes profitable to have a
micro drone pick and transport a single
kernel of wheat 1,000 miles to its final
destination.
25. With large number of farming and agricultural benefits, the
drones could serve as:
Artificial Bees (by helping to do rapid pollination)

Solar-Powered Drones (facebook and google have already
purchased the solar-powered drone “Ascenta” and “Titan
Space”, the designs of planes in this category are ultra-
lightweight and can remain aloft for up to five years).
In the coming time, for search and rescue missions and also to
track down criminals, police will use drones.
30. The drones will be cost-
effective and a good
alternative to the manned
helicopters.
The various police drones
would serve different tasks
like:
• Drug Sniffing Drones which
would be faster and more
versatile than bloodhounds
31. • High-Speed Chase Drones to
chase down the lawbreakers.
• Domestic Violence and Child Abuse Monitor Drones for
the Remote Monitoring of volatile situations to provide a
close scrutiny.
• Security Guard Drones to ensure
the security of a particular area
by patrolling.
