WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR DRONES

• From construction and wildlife surveillance to
  military use, the future really does look rosy
  for these little flying vehicles. And with
  advances in technology and hardware happening
  near enough every week, lets look at just where
  they might be heading
• Drones in the construction industry
• For the past few years drones have been used
  within the construction industry, predominantly
  since they can provide data and insight in a much
  more efficient way than man or a helicopter. With
  the use of drones, construction companies can
  deploy resources round the building site in a way
  that reduces any potential issues and hazards,
  minimizes costs and significantly reduces project
  delays.

• The unmanned aerial vehicles fly over
  construction sites and with the use of technology
  and thermal surveying, provide the builders with
  data that can help them to make 3D structural
  models, topographical maps and volumetric
  measurements. With a fast-growing population the
  world over, the demand for homes and other
  buildings is on the rise, making construction an
  industry that is increasingly at the forefront of
  technology.
• Military drones
• Drones have been used more and more for military
  purposes, especially since the CIA used them in a
  strike targeting Bin Laden back in 2002. In fact,
  they have been used in more than 500 strikes,
  with pilots in so-called safe zones operating
  them hundreds of miles away from the conflict or
  action.

• In 2016, drone tests were reportedly conducted
  involving a whopping 103 unmanned aerial
  vehicles, in what is commonly referred to as a
  micro-drone swarm test. Its somewhat
  frightening to think how much damage a drone can
  do when being piloted by someone sat at a
  computer screen in a safe area.
• Drones and medicine
• In a completely different way to how drones are
  being used for military purposes, they are also
  being used as vehicles for carrying lightweight
  medicines and samples to areas that are far from
  civilisation or hard to reach. In Malawi, for
  example, drones are already being used for this
  purpose, and there plans for this to happen in
  many other countries around the globe.

• The drones can be launched using coordinate
  mapping and should safely reach their
  predetermined destinations with no problems.
• In an extraordinary feat of robotic technology, a
  drone is currently being designed that is made
  from cardboard and dissolves once the 2 pounds of
  medicine that its carrying have been delivered
  to its destination. The trickiest components of
  this amazing new drone have proved to be
  electrical getting the parts to decompose
  quickly once the mission has been completed.
• So, as far as the future of drones is concerned,
  you really do need to watch this space as changes
  are happening faster than most of us could ever
  have predicted.
