An Overview on Drones Design and Development

Abstract: The drone also knows as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a most powerful and popular technology now a days. The drone industry is very challenging and requires synergy with multiple technologies to make it successful. Today , Drones technology is most popular technology amongst researchers and product development companies this is due to fact that since now we have wide range of controller and processors sensors, motors etc. available which can be best suited as per the military or commercial need of the application. Also the rise in demand for the application such as remote monitoring and also performing remote operations such as delivery of food, medicines etc are increasing day to day. Despite these appealing benefits, UAVs face limitations in operability due to several critical concerns in terms of flight autonomy, path planning, battery endurance, flight time and limited payload carrying capability, as intuitively it is not recommended to load heavy objects such as batteries. As a result, the primary goal of this research is to provide insights into the potentials of UAVs, as well as their characteristics and functionality issues.

The present article discuss about drones and their uses in military and commercial applications.
Also highlights on the latest technology for military and commercial application not limited to search and rescue, surveillance, traffic monitoring, weather monitoring and firefighting, personal tasks, security and news reporting.
