Drones: A Case Study

In the article Drone On, Gretchen West addresses the possibilities for drones and her issues with FAA and the slow pace their taking to establish rules for drone operating. She begins with the history of drones. She discusses that drones were primarily use for the military and other government sectors like Homeland Security, until private companies started developing an interest in drones. Instead of helping in wars and watching our boarders, drones were now being used for farming and bridge inspection. Now drones are an international and multibillion dollar industry. Drones, are as a faster and safer way to do things like helping farmers with their crops or help filmmakers shoot amazing footage; drones will benefit everyone. Commercial drones

Besides film making, drones are being used in all manner of ways. Park Rangers are using drones to check for wildfires, electricians are using them to check on power lines, and even Amazon is using them to deliver packages. I can see the future with drones is going to be a little bumpy at first wit all the phobia and controversies from them, but I think the will start to become more vital and entertaining in our daily lives. Film makers from the entire spectrum are using drones in unique ways. CorridorDigital on YouTube are using drones to simulate something you would see out of a video game. People are getting involvd with trying to come up with laws to protect those who use drones whether recreationaly or

Many of the current ways in which drones have begun to be integrated are in search and rescues, 3D mapping, investigative active shooter suspects, crime scene analysis, and crowd monitoring, according to Marco Margaritoff in his article, “Drones in Law Enforcement: How, Where and When They’re Used.” In the 347 United States agencies that use drones, there has been an astounding 518 percent increase in drone usage in the last two years. The reason drones have used in all the events listed above are because they are able to get up into high to reach places where they are able to record events for hours and need little attention, almost like a portable security camera. In terms of active shooter investigations, drones are so useful because they limit the exposure of police to possibly fatal events, but still allows them to receive an accurate depiction of events that are taking place. In regards to crowd monitoring, drones are able to station themselves above a huge crowd and monitor for any suspicious or actions without having officers run through crowds to check on these people, keeping citizens safer as a

Of course, the use of drones in these fields has been very successful. In fact, in the recent past, a number of drone manufacturing companies have opted to specialize in the manufacture of drones which are used in a specific field. Good examples are those that are used in photography. They have quality and sensitive

Today the use of drones has moved beyond military and recreational use and has emerged as a trending topic of conversation within both the private sector, commercial, and military realms (Bowden, 2013). Drone piloting has also become quite the topic of controversy due to military drone pilots taking non-traditional routes to achieve pilot certification. Military application has changed the landscape of foreign policy has augmented our military’s reach across the globe with the use of drones on the battlefield (Cole, 2014). As far as commercial uses drones are now augmented the way we deliver packages and cultivate vast amounts of farm (Senger, 2013). Even surveying of lands has changed with the adaptive technology drones utilize to map land features. The influx of drones in the public and private sector now has the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)

Drones have been one of the most controversial Military topics in the past ten years. Drones are planes that can be controlled by someone from many miles away. In the past few years, drones have been killing terrorists in the Middle East without putting U.S. military lives in danger. The United States Military should increase use of Drones because they can go places that are unsafe for a human, and save not only a soldier’s life, but also cost less money to manufacture than supplying ground troops and air troops.

UAVs have been operating longer than the public realizes by gathering military intelligence, surveying internal and externally to national borders, and monitoring telecommunications. Drones have been constructed to achieve an operational presence

One of the hottest pieces of tech since the smartphone is the Drone. Drones are used in situations where manned flight is considered too risky or difficult. The FAA Reauthorization Act was introduced America in 2012 to expand the use of Drones in the US. Drones have mostly been used with warfare. They still are, but their use is now going beyond conflict zones. They are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Drones can be remote controlled by a pilot and/or controlled by a computer. One of the first recorded usages of drones was by Austrians in 1849. They launched 200 pilot less balloons

Drones are unmanned aircrafts (or other vehicles) that can navigate without human control. Many people own small drones that are used mainly for personal reasons, such as aerial filming and recreational activities, but the military also uses drones. These drones served the purpose of attacks against militants and terrorists. They are useful because they can take out a large number of terrorists in one attack. In addition, they are also cheaper compared to sending in ground troops or aerial combat troops. Many people believe that drones are bad for areas that are high in civilians, but drones help the U.S. to combat against terrorism.

If accomplished, Amazon Prime Air will mark the beginning of commercial drone use, which will undoubtedly be followed by other manufacturers using drones for similar purposes. Drones in the recent years have also been geared up for “managing agricultural lands and national parks, tracking wildlife in remote areas, observing the effects of climate change and monitoring the biodiversity of fragile eco-systems,” (Alli, Lavanya Selvam) and provide “assistance to first responders, safe inspection of critical infrastructure such as oil and gas pipelines,” (Small UAV Coalition). The current uses for drones are extensive, and as legislation opens the doors for drones to occupy domestic airspace new uses will continue to

In the first three years more than 34,000 manufacturing jobs and more than 70,000 new jobs will be generated (Wolfgang, 2013). By 2025 a total of about 100,000 jobs will be created as a result of the UAS industry (Wolfgang, 2013). The estimations contained in this report consider the current infrastructure and airspace activity, as a result, states with a thriving aerospace industry will receive the most economic gains (Jenkins & Vasigh, 2013). However, there are a variety of factors to consider such as state laws, tax incentives, and regulations, which will ultimately determine where jobs

“Drones overall will be more impactful than I think people will recognize, in positive ways to help society.” (Bill Gates). I like this quote because some people don't see drones benefits. The technical name of a drone is unmanned aerial vehicle, or UAV for short. Abraham Karem was the person who came up with the idea for the reaper, the drones purpose was for fighting wars oversea and keeping civilians safe(Lawrence 2). Some type of drones is the reaper, predator, quadcopter, delivery drones, and photography drones. The reaper and predator both serve for the military and is used in wars to be for surveillance or striking the target with weapons. The quadcopter is a personal recreational drone. Delivery drones is something that Amazon uses to deliver packages to their customers. Photography drones can be used for filmmakers and can take pictures from the sky. Drones have become controversial because people don't know how to use them correctly. The benefits of using unmanned aerial vehicles in the military is their inexpensive to produce, they can stay in the air for

Drones the new aviation frontier. One of the hottest objects on the market today, Drones sound like a fun toy to fly around the yard but what about the drone that are advanced technology. The drones that have been weponized, the drones that can be flown miles away from the receiver and have a 360 camera on it. The drones that can carry bombs at high speeds while also being undected by air radars. Drone are a huge advancement in technology but who and what should be trusted with the power a drone can possess. Drones need to be watch and restricted very harshly. Drones made on the market for civilians need to be the most simple of all drones to protect the privacy and to protect the people. Drones don’t need to be available to everyone. There

Drone technology is advancing rapidly and it is changing the way in which things are being done. Drones are widely used by many people as a hobby or for career purposes, as well as for military purposes by the United States. Drones provide the U.S military with many benefits, which helps the military to operate efficiently and in a safe manner. Businesses are utilizing this technology as well in order to make their companies run more efficiently, as well as to improve their customer service. Drone technology will positively impact our society; drastically change our culture and political system and definitely advance our economy as well as help enhance our environment.

The first fissure in the Indian approach to UAVs is that all possible concerns have not been identified with care and rationality. The DGCA guidelines have evidently taken a very airspace-centric view, with little acceptance of the reality that there is still a wide road for present consumer UAV technology to cross to compete with manned aircraft for high-altitude airspace. The guidelines also overtly put a ceiling on UAVs from operating in controlled airspaces but in all other respects regulate them with the primary intent of avoiding collisions. In doing so, the guidelines lose sight of the fact that in low-altitude spaces; the odds of divergence are actually a little on the higher side between landowners and UAV operators.
