The Function Of Drone Is Getting Better and Wider
A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle
The aircraft can be controlled either using a control device or can fly using the aircraft control software installed in it.
In the past, drones were commonly used for military purposes, where they were used for anti-aircraft gun training, intelligence and even as weapons.
However, today drones are widely used for other purposes such as search and rescue, surveillance, traffic and weather monitoring, firefighting, agricultural, personal and for filming.
The increasing use of drones is now inviting many complaints and concerns from the public.
Among them is invading a person’s privacy when used to take pictures of individuals in their homes or areas that are considered private property.
In addition, there are also those who fly drones in areas that invite danger to the public such as in urban areas and airports.
Increased use of drones for commercial and personal use also raises many security concerns such as collisions in the airspace and loss of control.
Concerns about attempts to fly drones too close to passenger planes led to it being eventually regulated by law.
In the United States (US), the Federal Aviation Organization (FAA) has enacted several drone-related laws including banning it from being flown at risky areas such as airports.
Facts about drones
The global drone market is expected to be worth US $ 127 billion (RM568 billion) by 2021 compared to US $ 2 billion (RM8.95 billion) this year.
Seven million commercial and consumer drones will be brought to the US by 2021 compared to 2.5 million this year.
During the same period, sales of drones for personal use are expected to increase from 1.9 million to 4.3 million while sales of drones for commercial use increased from 600,000 to 2.7 million.
Currently, the largest market for drones is the US. Research firm KPCB in 2014 showed that the US controls 35 percent of the drone market compared to 30 percent in Europe, 15 percent (China) and 20 percent worldwide.
The Federal Aviation Organization (FAA) expects 30,000 drones to fly in US airspace by 2020.
