The Advantages of Using Drones With GIS Mapping

GIS stands for “geographical information system.” A GIS (GIS Mapping) is a computer program that can capture, store, organize and display data which is related to specific parts of the surface of the earth. Something that was created using GIS mapping will look like a map that shows the correlation between distance above sea level …

Solar Drone Technology and Business Opportunities

Solar drones are relatively new within the larger drone market and one of the key issues with commercial or defense-oriented drones is their ability to make long trips because of inadequate battery power. This is the reason researchers have been looking towards solar energy as a solution to provide power to drones in flight, as …

Nano Drones & the Future of Drone Technology

Nano Drones: Nanoscience and nanotechnology (“nanotech”) are the study and application of extremely small things, that is, nanoscale, which is about 1 to 100 nanometers. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter: ten times the diameter of a hydrogen atom. The diameter of a human hair is, on average, 80,000 nanometers. At such scales, the …

Not All Drones Fly! Submersible Drones and Underwater Surveys

Even though underwater or submersible drones have been in operation since the 1950s, and there are over 250 different configurations in service today, for the great majority of people, drone technology has been, and still is, limited to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Dones come in all shapes and sizes and don’t just fly in the …

How Drones Are Changing Aerial Photography

Drone aerial photography is clearly among the primary applications of drones (quadcopter). Because of improved technology, a lot more quadcopters are now well-equipped to hold heavy camera equipment. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are easy to handle, steady and able to take clear and crisp pictures. What the video camera captures and sees straight from …

Drones: The Future of Medical Emergency Response?

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or drones have a wide range of applications for disaster relief. In 2015 a small drone (hexacopter) operated by Flirtey, an Australian company, flew over the mountainous terrain of Wise County, VA, and provided a shipment of medications to a make-shift clinic offered by a Remote Area Medical. This was the …
