Drones are here to stay

Drones are here to stay; although there is still widespread scepticism about how useful they are, more and more people are turning into drone supports than vice versa. Drones have inflicted huge shifts in how certain industries function. In this article, we will look at five major advantages of using drones.

1. Help & Rescue

Imagine a huge hurricane hits the coastal area of a huge city and people across the city are stranded and scattered all over the place. In a drone-free world, rescue workers and first responders will be tasked with locating all the survivors and navigate safe paths across the city. But imagine in this very situation how it would be to have something that can locate all the people and predict the safest route to extract them. Well, that’s exactly what drones do. Drones can be deployed in areas where there has either been a manmade or natural disaster. These drones will not only scout the area for survivors and injured victims but will also determine the safest way to extract them. Drones can save a lot of lives by sending rescue workers real-time images of the land and locational indicators of where everyone is.

2. The Drone Unit

The biggest obstacle to law enforcement is the unpredictable nature of an event that can throw even the finest of law enforcement agents. But a drone can greatly improve the situation. Drones can be deployed for surveillance of an area where law enforcement officials will find it tough to get in. Drones can be deployed in situations where there has either been an accident or where there is a large number of people who have assembled for a meeting or protest. As mentioned drones can be deployed to find missing people and give officials real-time infrared images during a standoff that otherwise would have led to greater loss of life.

3. Maintenance

The thing about old building and bridges is that they become unstable overtime. In such a situation, a worker will be required to check the condition out in rather unsafe environments. The worker will require a crew, crane, harnesses, etc. The much easier solution is to avoid all the hassle and deploy drones that can scout the building or the bridge from all angles and send real-time analysis of the affected portion of the structure.

4. Simplify Agriculture

Agriculture can be greatly improved and made more efficient using drones. Drones can be used for a multitude of functions such as crop spraying, irrigation, soil analysis and health management. These functions are all done in real-time and are much more economic than using regular workers to check crops across acres of farmland.

5. Media Galore

The news and media outlets benefit from using drones due to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. Most of the time, people in the media find it difficult to zone in on the situation due to the presence of logistical and positioning issues. A high powered quadcopter can solve this issue and give media houses pristine images and videos.
