What you may have seen as part of school and college science
projects has taken the world by storm. Yes, I am talking about drones. They are
being used in every sector imaginable, right from archaeology to agriculture to
environmental projects. In fact, this industry is growing so fast that it seems
almost every week there is a new use being discovered for drones. Actually, a lot of these sectors were
initially employing airplanes and helicopters for the same, but the costs were
turning out huge. Drones can be operated much faster, at much lower cost. Their
biggest advantage is that they can be controlled remotely, eliminating the need
to put people in potentially risky situations like war and rescue missions.
Let us take a look at some of the most common uses of
drones:
Search and rescue: This is easily one of the most
crucial uses of drones. They are used by all departments dealing in high-risk
situations like Fire Departments, Lifeguards, Mountain Rescue, First
Responders. Drone scan construct an initial assessment of the situation quickly
and effectively, and help can be sent accordingly. They can be used to drop
lifebuoys to swimmers who may be in trouble, find hikers in trouble, find out
missing persons and even locate people in burning buildings. Disaster-struck
areas can benefit from the ability of drones to give a complete picture of the
extent of damage. The best part is, these drones don’t come very expensive.
Fire Fighting: Drones are immensely helpful for
controlling and extinguishing major fires. Firefighters use them to evaluate
the situation at hand, with respect to the extent and heat of the fire, whether
it is spreading to other buildings, if there are people trapped inside, and
even after the fire is put out, to evaluate the damage. This information is
crucial in planning how much resource is needed at the situation. In case of
forest fires, drones can help survey large areas of the forest to understand
the nature of the fire and how to navigate it. Without drones, these would not
have been possible.
The most thrilling part is, there are studies being done to
enable drones to actually put out fire. This will be a much safer and
cost-efficient alternative to real people risking their lives in order to put
out fires.
Professional Film Making: With the advent of drones,
you don’t need to spend a lot of money renting out a helicopter to get aerial
shots of beautiful locations. There are drones designed specifically for
filmmaking, equipped with 4k cameras and perfect flight stability to give you
professional results. Drones like DJI, Yuneec and Walke have made it possible
for low-budget movies to have footage of stunning quality. This has greatly
improved the face of the entertainment industry, where a lot of good work would
never see the light of the day owing to dearth of funds.
With drones finding use in many other industries like
medical deliveries, agriculture and real construction, we are excited to find
out how close they can get to transforming the world for the better.
This Is How Drones Are All Set to Change Our World
