Drones: Disaster Response Team

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

Drones are very useful during warfare, from delivering supplies to soldiers, to leading reinforcements to the right direction, to actually being reinforcements with the missile technology implied into a variety of them. “Drones could also be delivering emergency medical supplies, fighting fires, and protecting endangered animals in Africa” (Source A). Not only can they deliver supplies such as food and water, but they can also deliver medical need that most troops require. Drones also stop attacks before they happen, which

The flying invention called the drone is used for countless things. Good and bad. According to Fintan Corrigan here is a list of ways drones are used: search and rescue, marketing, film making, site surveying, parcel deliveries, imaging structures, precision agriculture, family fun occasions, lighting concert shows, counting stockpiles, weather patterns, environmental, conservation, insurance, policing, sports. This is just a few ways drones are being used. People are coming up with more and more ways that drones can make jobs easier and safer.

One of the tremendous advantages of drones is that they can bypass most obstacles at ease. There are times there will be difficult situations to gain information. Knowing this knowledge can sometimes be critical. For instance, Sarah McCammon from National Public Radio mentions an intelligence analysts work with drone pilots and others in the Air Force to guide decisions about where to deploy weapons in the fight against ISIS and al-Qaida. Having this remote access with drones, they are able to gather information without risking their life at this dangerous environment. Another way drones can be vital is by utilizing the eyes drones can collect data. Like when there are flooded neighborhood and terrible conditions, they can use the drone to scan through the area and look for people needing help.

In the beginning, scientists in Switzerland ponder about making a drone that can find lost hikers in hiking trails, going through the trails autonomously. Alessandro Giusti, leader of his team, are going to make this invention. According to Stevens, “In the United States alone, as many as 34 million hikers hit the trails each year. Some of those trekkers invariably get lost” (Stevens par. 2). This shows, multitudes of hikers get lost in the hiking trails every year. Hikers can become injured and need medical attention or support. Giusti and his team made this invention to make rescue missions easier, some can occupy up to 20 people at a time. This would be a good reason to make the drone.

In the United States, domestic drones are gaining popularity and have the potential to do many things, good or bad. The drones are publicly available for a very cheap cost and are capable installing software or devices that take live video streaming, video recording, have infrared cameras, heat sensors, GPS, sensors that detect movement, automated license plate readers, and, in the close future, facial recognition technology linked to the FBI’s biological database. These capabilities make drones either a very real threat or one of the best law enforcement technologies out

Drones are used in many ways, to take videos or pictures in the air or delivering tacos from a restaurant to your front door. Drones are used in many different ways so I’m going to give you some.

Drones are an effective counter insurgency tool deployed extensively throughout the world, especially by clandestine intelligence organizations often with the help of the country’s respective Air Force. Not only do they serve as an effective weapon, they minimize human

Drones have several advantages over manned aircraft: they can be flown for up to thirty hours at a stretch without needing to land, can track militants over remote and rugged terrain without risk to their pilots or ground troops, and can pinpoint and strike targets, reducing the time lag between identification and response. These attributes make them especially effective in unconventional warfare, such as counterinsurgency operations in Iraq or the pursuit of al-Qaeda militants into remote and inaccessible areas, such as the Pakistani tribal areas. Drones are also cheaper than manned aircraft.

After researching the use of drones in police surveillance, I believe that we are extremely close to drones getting the green light to be used in not only surveillance, but also in police investigations. In the near future, we will hear about drones being used to locate missing

Drones capture stunning aerial photography, save lives in modern day search and rescue missions, collect snot samples from whales for scientific research, inspect vast agricultural landscapes, survey crocodile-infested waters, thrill spectators in FPV racing, bring medical supplies to war-torn areas and deliver pizzas in New Zealand! The world has fallen in love with them, and we know you will too.

Drones are being used everywhere these days, from them delivering your pizza to putting out fires. There has been some safety and privacy issues in those fields, in particular, flyaways, when the controller loses control

Earlier drone photography was used just as a hobby but now it has gained a professional status. You may have watched in some movies and advertisements, some mesmerizing aerial views of mountains, valleys and landscapes. Big budget films and companies can arrange for a helicopter to get this job done. But a cheaper alternative is provided by these drones. These drones are available at small expenses. A simple drone can be rented from online market places at just 30 to 40 $. Even though these drones cannot be used for heavy applications it is much cheaper when compared to

Finding illegal activity in large areas can be a very time consuming job for law enforcement, but drones can lighten this time consuming load. Drones can cover large areas of land much faster and more efficient than the traditional techniques.

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.
