Unmanned aerial vehicles or UAVs is a highly efficient fleet of planes that play versatile roles in crucial defense applications. Also known as drone, UAVs differ in shapes and sizes, which affects their characteristics, functionality, configuration and responsibilities. Owing to the exclusive and high-tech design, these planes do not require human pilots on-board. Instead of pilots, earth-based control rooms operate and direct these drones. Always used for special military and defense operations, UAVs faced a low start in the global industry. However, the recent technological advancements are gaining great results for the global unmanned aerial vehicle market. This is a great sign for businesses that want to invest in this industry or expand their organization in different parts of the world.
