Unmanned Aerial Vehicles ( Uav )

The history of drones goes all the way back to World War I. The first drones that were used by the U.S. military were used in 1914-1918. The drone was called Kettering Aerial Torpedo and it was able to carry a 180 pound payload of explosives. Although this drone was never operational in war, this set up the future for other drones. The next time drones have seen a lot of use was during the cold war era. During the cold war era U.S made a drone called SD-2 Overseer

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

Drones are wartime weapons the United States government uses to fight the War on Terror. Officially known as unmanned aerial vehicles, this type of aircraft plays a vital role in protecting the United States, as well as many other countries around the world. Although there are multiple drones owned by the United States government, the MQ-9 Reaper and MQ-1B Predator drones are the most predominantly used drones; General Atomics Aeronautical Systems manufacture both aircrafts.

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 makes a few clicks on their iPhone. In less than a half hour, they hear a loud noise above their backyard and go out to check. Sitting on their grass is a package. It was delivered by a drone. Meanwhile, a couple hundred miles away, another drone is above a mountain range searching for a pair of missing hikers. A few thousand miles away out at sea, a drone is hovering above an oil ring to inspect it. These three events are happening simultaneously as hundreds of other drones also move throughout the air. A drone is defined as "an unmanned aircraft that can fly autonomously—that is, without a human in control" (Villasenor). In recent years, there have been a rise in the number of drones in the United States. According to an estimate in 2010

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVS) universally known as Drones is a small state of the art aircraft controlled by well-trained professionals or pilots and these drones can be controlled and deployed from any remote location. Drones are widely used by Military for surveillance, reconnaissance and on some occasions they are used to neutralize enemy forces without the need of invasive military engagement. Due to the advancement in technology and to the success rate of the use of drones, the Law enforcement is launching its use in their day to day activities.

Drones are remotely controlled aerial vehicles that have been used since the Afghanistan war. The UK have began using UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) also known as drones, in October 2007 during the Afghanistan war. Even though drones have many different size and shapes they fall into two categories. They are either used for surveillance or armed missions (What are Drones?). The drone program strikes begun during the George W. Bush administration, and have increased significantly under President Barack Obama’s administration. Drones are wildly debated due to the fact that they are like phantoms and the US government does not come clean when questioned about them. The program’s secrecy leaves many American civilians feeling scared due to the fact that the government could be using drones to watch over us in secrecy.

When an American first starts talking about drones the first thing that comes to mind is a military grade unmanned aerial vehicle. For the better part of the last twenty years that is what it generally meant, but now it can mean so much more, drones are starting to make their way into the life of civilians, which means a better world for the working class. The world has started to advance the technology of drones into helpful objects most would have never imagined possible. Although there are some debatable uses for drones in civilian use, the pros outweigh the con by a large margin.

You need to only watch as drones are employed by law enforcement, the military, organizations, and individuals and there are significant issues that rise. Similar to the stingray technology law enforcement agencies utilize and the militaries drone usage, drones and robots have revolutionized how espionage and warfare are conducted. The price to operate a drone near continuously compared to manned aircraft alone is a worthy reason for investment into drone programs, as according to Dowd (2013)“A typical Predator drone, for instance, costs $4.5 million, while an F-35 costs $159 million, an F-22 $377 million, and a B-2 nearly $2 billion. Moreover, training UCAV controllers costs less than a tenth what it costs to train traditional combat aviators”. At the decrease in expenses offered by the usage of drones in warfare when compared to manned aircraft, the drones have a massive advantage both pricewise, long term viability, endurance, and in terms of precision. Why would you stick with the antique technology that requires a squishy human to man it for a limited period of time when you could instead utilize a drone that will continue operating until the drone is shot down, is no longer required to operate there any longer, or malfunctions. A semi-autonomous drone that cant operate on its own until a human

Drones are easy to make and flying one can be extremely enjoyable experience and having beautiful pictures and videos taken with it is an added advantage. Enjoying making yours and have beautiful memories captured from top

Drones have been a debatable topic since the 1930s. Some countries have banned them, some states have banned them, and even the United States National Park Service has banned them. There has been controversy for the last few years of this new rising robot on whether the U.S. National Park Service should allow it or whether it should be illegal in our parks. They were invented during World War II to help the military spy on enemies. Their technical term is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) or RPA (Remotely Piloted Aerial System). Drones have been used in situations where manned flight isn’t an option. These flying robots have come in many sizes, from miniature hand-sized drones to large spy planes.

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

There has been a great controversy around the topic of drones in the past years, and it needs to be put to rest. A drone is really called a UAV, which stands for an unmanned aerial vehicle. They are small aircrafts that are operated by humans on the ground, no one is inside. Drones have been used for a plethora of different things ranging from recreational uses to farming where they are used as crop dusters. The first drone used in combat was in 1995 in Bosnia, but they really came into play in combat ever since the tragic terrorist attacks on 9/11 when President George Bush was in office. Drone usage is very cheap and very rewarding to the U.S. in combat. America is able to get in and out easily, complete the task accurately, and it all costs

Would you like to see around the neighborhood or are interested in seeing a tragic accident nearby? Drones (UAVs) maybe your go to. What are drones? Well they are the growing idea and flying electronic that many people are wanting. You may be familiar with this device from the T.V. show, “Last Man on Earth.” These drones are being used for many things nut one of them is being used for the freedom of flying these drones everywhere and anywhere they want. Or at least people think they can go wherever they want with them, but if given to the wrong people can cause much animosity among peers. With that being said I strongly believe drones should be carefully watched on who purchases these popular devices and what they are used for.

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.
