5 Usage of Drones

Usage of Drones

Drones are no longer only used for waging secret attack and for spying on enemy territories. Over the years drones became known for their potential in conducting research and collecting information and multimedia data that can be used in an array of purposes including education, scientific studies, security and studies related to mass market and business potential. The usage of drones, especially the high-tech ones, are continually surpassing old boundaries and barriers achieving new breakthroughs of potential purpose. Here we introduce 5 surprising drone uses you will be amazed to know.

Disaster prediction

A hurricane or a tornado takes millions of lives and destroys livelihood and properties that takes years to return to its normal course. But it has been seen that predicting such natural disaster accurately the damage can be managed and avoided to a great extent. NASA has already stepped forward with two Global Hawk drones that can correctly predict any imminent indication of hurricane. This drone can stay afloat for as long as 30 hours at a time and is capable of reaching an altitude higher than 55,000 feet.

Big Data analysis

This is a potentially unexplored area so far as usage of drones is concerned. Big Data refers to the huge collection of digital data that we encounter from an array of sources. As we all know Big Data analytic is the next big frontier to make use of these huge data volume which is continually increasing with the passing of every day, especially with the recent proliferation tech gadgets and widespread digitization in every sphere of life. Even some drones are showing promising specter to make use of this data for analyzing and to derive purposeful insights from them. PrecisionHawk with their long lineage of developing tools for Big Data analytic tools recently came up with an advanced drone that can collect data from the farmlands, analyze them and produce decisive insights to reduce cost and enhance productivity.
