Drones ! What is it? Not so long ago, it was used only in warfare. These remote controlled flying machines are now slowly being used in many fields, more usage found in warfare, farming, photography and as toys.
Some of the present and future usage of flying drones are compiled here.
1. Toys
Flying drone as toys are more common these days. Some of the toys are available commercially in India. Interestingly, you need a permission or license to fly those in public in India. The price starts at around Rs. 2500 to Rs. 50000. One of our favorite drone toy available in India is "The flyer's bay Phantom drone with camera" which comes for Rs. 5599
2. Photography
A powerful drone "Phantom 2 with GoPro HD cam" is the best you can get for a professional photography work. Take a look at the video to get some inspiration to own one and use it ! With Phantom 2, you can add a great feature in your photography profession.
3. Project Lifesaver
This is a project undertaken by Lockheed Martin, USA to help local law and order enforcers to find missing people. The project was intended to help locate people with cognitive disabilities that make them wander around. The vehicle can fly for 50 min non-stop and travel with control up to 3 miles. Presently an experiment is going on to find wildfires using this drone. Most importantly its compact that fits in a backpack.
4. Robot force
The futuristic idea of robot force in Army was a vision in year 2005, now it's becoming a reality. US military has invested a lot in creating a Robot force. Recently they've successfully tested a UAV that can re-fuel in mid air. Don't worry, there's a long way to go before implementing pilot less commercial passenger air crafts. Future UN peacekeeping missions will have a drone force to assist with the personal on the ground. Click here to read more about Drones and UN missions.
5. Drones for farmers
Research in Agriculture has gone ten-folds and more coming up from them. Drones can boost their yields, How? by providing cheap areal photos and infrared of the farming land. Interestingly, there's research going on to protect crops from flying insects.
Have you heard that Amazon.com is trying out a drone for delivering their products !!
Remember, not all drones are flying machines. And flying unauthorized machines can cause danger to passenger planes and buildings. Still a long way to go, for using drones in all domains.
