Introduction

 UAV stands for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, something that can fly
without a pilot onboard.

 Drone used by the media and military, and UAV used most often by the
FAA.

 The words Drone and UAV mean the same thing, and can be used
interchangeably they can fly without human remotely controlling them

 hiring a professional to remotely control them can cost thousands of

dollars every single flight.
 Techniques available in UAV

to map or
survey

identify
upload your
minerals
data to the
and
cloud
vegetation

sensors and
GPS
 ADVANTAGES
 Airlines and maintenance, repair, and 
operations contractors use UAVs for
aircraft maintenance.
 UAVs are used by a broad range of 
military forces, from Argentina to the US
and also by Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant (ISIS).
 Drones may survey weather and other
environmental conditions, such as this
water sampling drone does.
 Drones are valuable in remote or
dangerous areas, such as in this volcano in
Vanuatu, where they follow explorers
literally to the edge of a “lava lake.”
DISADVANTAGES
The use of drones by law enforcement has
created strong interest in the technology, as
well as some controversy.
Many people agree that drones can help
police departments spot traffic law
violators, and watch dangerous criminals
 police departments and government
agencies could abuse drones by
unnecessarily tracking the activities of
law-abiding citizens.
