Ryan English, the President of Flymotion Unmanned Systems, a drone technology solution company based in the United States, participates in Risk Roundup to discuss Drone Applications and Security Risks.
Drone Applications and Security Risks
As traditional surveillance techniques are normally limited by the stationary nature of the camera and its manual, slow and complex operations; the realistic potential of aerial surveillance using unmanned aircraft systems (commonly known as UAVs or drones), provides much needed and simple solutions to the ongoing complex challenges faced by the traditional surveillance techniques and technology.
The UAVs or drone surveillance today gives nations an easier, faster, affordable, accessible, and effective method of data collection. It is, therefore, no surprise that the drone Industry is anticipating tremendous growth in the coming years as not only governments and military but also industries as diverse as energy, agriculture, insurance, media, real estate are expected to begin adopting drone technology, if they are not already doing so.
From pizza delivery to package delivery, from residential security to critical infrastructure security, from inspection to investigation, from spying to surveillance, to search and rescue, and more, drones are emerging today to play a critical role for nations: its government, industries, organizations, and academia (NGIOA). It is important that we evaluate, the existing and emerging drone applications and their ecosystem:
- Trends for developing drone applications
- Drone usage and the security industry
- Powering drones
- Future of drones
While drones or UAVs seem to be here to stay, it is important to evaluate the framework of rules for drone manufacturers, sellers, and operators, as the very safety and security of each one of us is at play here. Time is now to talk about the existing and emerging Drone Applications and Security Risks.
