A drone is defined as an artificial aerial vehicle which drives unpiloted. These are used for several purposes as they are capable of covering a large range of tasks including military operations, package deliveries, informatics as well as purposes such as shooting and videography.
Drones are available in various sizes, depending on the motive of their requirement. It can be as large as an aircraft or as small as the fist of a human. There are specific stipulations of drones in individual socio-economic fields and that can be vividly classified into further categories.
Meteorological information:
Drones play a significant role in determining the weather forecast. It is commonly used for predictions regarding climate changes and forecasts that affect the daily affairs of the public.
As a part of weather studies, applications of drones are done during disaster management to provide relief to the victims of the disasters. Hence, it has become more than beneficial as it also indicates the exact location along with the video footage and other needed information required at the time of emergency.
Military and defence operations:
Drones help in the navigation of the exact location of the enemy camp during the war state and shooting at the particular target. It is termed as “eye in the sky” as it can travel to any location and cover up all the information, where the war flights cannot reach.
This facilitates the soldiers with all gained knowledge about the enemies and can plan an attack accordingly. Another advantage of using drones in the war ground is, if by chance it comes to the attention of the enemies, there is no loss of life.
A flight has the risk of being crashed with life loss of snipers, simply can be termed as a saviour to loss of resources.
Delivery medium:
Drones have an immense effect on social development affairs, especially with respect to the transportation of heavy goods. Now delivery of weighted packages in heavy construction sites has become super easy.
This saves not only cost but also makes it easy to deliver commodities to places, rough to navigate. Delivery of small items are also facilitated but in India, this has not been introduced yet.
But, there are several other goods transportations in which drones are used in India as well. Drones have proved to be the evidence of the most efficient technical support during medical emergencies anywhere, at any place.
It helps in analyzing and monitoring the scale of damages, performs exploring activities and delivery of blood samples as well as other supports as per needs.
Agriculture and Mining:
Farmers across the country are using drones for various purposes in their agricultural field. Drones are effective in capturing the photographs and monitoring the field conditions that need to be modified.
It also helps in sprinkling seeds on ground at a great distance with super ease. This has also reduced the time generally taken to sow seeds across the entire field.
Farmers also use drones to maintain security and safety of their land prohibiting the entry of any unwanted animal or human.
In mining, drones provide accurate and comprehensive data details about a given site to be worked on. It overall increases the efficiency of the quarry management, especially in the case of large mine sites.
The recorded pictures and videos help the labours to plan out the entire project. This results in better mining in the least consumed time.
Events and Media:
It is very common to see drones fly around above all heads in events, mostly when it is a Live event and needs to be recorded in decent order. In Live events, there can be the use of more than one drone for better output.
It has helped to take Filmography to the next level. The videos and pictures captured via drones are so fine in texture that it has set a new benchmark in the media world. Wedding videos are now incomplete without a drone captured reels.
The idea of using drones has crept into the journalism industry as well. Many organizations use drones to record live events like a volcanic eruption, consequence of earthquake and flood, communal riots, wars and so on.
As these are operated remotely, it is safer for journalists to capture such dangerous, vulnerable video clips in a cost-effective means as well as life-saving means. Drones have essentially reduced the life-risk of many especially the soldiers, journalists, disaster management employees, making all the tough jobs easier as well as has given better visualizations of snaps and recordings with digital assistance. Day by day the utility of drones is increasing in every field.
