Plenty of scientific studies prove the potential benefits of drones in healthcare and health-related services. The most frequently discussed benefit of drones is their ability to improve the response time of emergency services and to deliver medical supplies and treatments (e.g., gauze, testing kits

Aerial access into enemy territory is a decisive component in all military operations. From reconnaissance to super-high resolution satellite imagery, many aspects of operational planning are dependent on the level of situational awareness and information gathering. Unsurprisingly, the use of drones

More than 10 years ago, most non-military drones were custom-built, remotely piloted aircraft flown by model aircraft enthusiasts for fun. But today, highly capable commercial drones are sold everywhere for a few hundred dollars to a wide variety of enthusiasts. Many of these drone enthusiasts are i

Every drone pilot has specific obligations before, during, and after the flight to ensure safety and unblock the potential of drone applications – both leisure and commercial, including aerial photography, filmmaking, geography mapping, monitoring, search and rescue, law enforcement, entertain

Underground mining has unique and significant safety hazards compared to surface mining, due to high-stress concentrations, weak rock masses, and limited access and air quality. Traditional monitoring equipment for stope monitoring is ineffective and impractical in most cases, due to the difficultie

Drones have multiple commercial applications across industries such as farming, entertainment, delivery, and logistics, some of which go beyond essential surveillance, photography, or videos. Some big tech companies such as Amazon, Google, the United Parcel Service (UPS), DHL, and Alibaba have been

The effective mitigation of all threats posed by either careless or malevolent UAS operations begins with the ability to detect the presence of a drone within the three-dimensional perimeter surrounding critical infrastructure or events. Passive C-UAS measures employing radar, RF, or EO/IR sensing t

Drones have transformed human lives for better and for worse. On the one hand, we have very innovative solutions that have been invented through drone technology that have improved the lives of people around the world. On the other hand, we have the menace that is war drones that have increased war

Most drone or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) operations are currently limited to short distances within the remote pilot’s line of sight. This means that the remote pilots should keep their drone in sight to see and avoid other things while flying. This is known as flying within Visual Line of Sigh

Ever since the first commercial drone was demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in 2010, drones or unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have shown significant potential in personal and commercial applications across industries like construction, agriculture, oil and gas, and law enforcement

Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPVs), or Remotely Operated Aircraft (ROAs), play a prominent role in military operations, including counterterrorism and counterinsurgency, transforming warfare similar to the gunpowder revolution. They can engage in

The latest innovations in drone technologies allow us to use these lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles in a wide variety of applications, which were impossible to humans before. One such area is photography, where drones help us discover and appreciate the ‘never-seen-before’ beauty and

Most drone pilots are concerned about flying their drones over water. There is always a chance for your drone to lose power and fall in the water. But now, you don’t have to worry about any water damage. Many companies have made some drastic changes in the design to make their drones waterproof. The

Drones or remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) are emerging as a powerful tool to supplement the conventional monitoring and studies in wildlife biology in terms of individual detection, population surveys, and behavior tracking of wild animals in low-accessible extreme or maritime environments.

5G is about to transform our lives at high speed! It is estimated to bring over 3 million new jobs, $275 billion in investments, and a $500 billion boost to the US domestic product market. The deployment of 5G is well underway in the US with large telecom companies like T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, U

Over the past several months, the heat has been increasing on Chinese drone manufacturers like Da Jiang Innovations (DJI), with multiple US government agencies instituting policy bans on Chinese-made drones, citing potential risk to an organization’s information and national security. The Depa

The essential advantage of using drones during the current COVID-19 pandemic, beyond their ability to perform technical tasks efficiently, lies in their capacity to minimize direct human exposure to the virus by involving fewer people in several operations. From street patrols to food and medicine d

The drones are incredible. When it comes to technology-led revolution, they bring in new ways to conduct many business operations. Commercial drones are challenging the industry status quo every day, with the likes of Amazon launching innovative services like Prime Air, the first e-commerce drone de

A decade ago, drones were considered a technology restricted only to official authorities, such as the military, police, etc. But, numerous companies and civilians use UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) today for recreational photography, inspection, delivering goods and services. The Federal Aviation

Airports differ in size, capacity, air traffic, and proximity to populated areas. But some hazards associated with drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are common to all airports. Drone incidents at critical infrastructures like airport facilities are rapidly increasing in frequency, complexity
