The term 'drone' relates to any unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPA). Drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew, or passengers on board. UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system (UAS), which includes adding a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV. The flight of UAVs may operate under remote control by a human operator, as remotely-piloted aircraft (RPA), or with various degrees of autonomy, such as autopilot assistance, up to fully autonomous aircraft that have no provision for human intervention. Drones have a broad spectrum applications in medical sector, military purposes, geospatial survey, smart policing, and aerial photography. In modern times, drones can help in reaching out to the remote areas, and can provide their medical equipments or delivery of medicines. Moreover, Drones are used in aerial photography and geospatial survey of landform specially agricultural lands. Nowadays drones uses principles of AI and Machine Learning and helps in delivering lot of technological advancements. Drones are excellent for taking high-quality aerial photographs and video, and collecting vast amounts of imaging data. These high-resolution images can be used to create 3D maps and interactive 3D models, which have many beneficial uses.Drones now have many functions, ranging from monitoring climate change to carrying out search operations after natural disasters, photography, filming, and delivering goods. But their most well-known and controversial use is by the military for reconnaissance, surveillance and targeted attacks. Drone technology is always evolving, the future for drones is very exciting, they are already being used in a range of industries.
This article talks about drones and their uses, first discussing the construction of the drone, the most important components of which are the frame, propeller, engine, power system, electronic control, and communication system. A drone is a type of aircraft. A drone is also known as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A drone is "unmanned" because it doesn't need a pilot on board to fly it. Due to the popularity of drones and the fact that many of them are easy and cheap to buy, it is generally expected that the ubiquity of drones will increase significantly in the next few years. The main danger of using a drone is the fall of a drone from a great height, which can be caused by battery discharge, damage due to weather conditions (low air temperature, rain), or hitting an obstacle (trees, buildings, high-voltage lines). The US military has used drones since the mid-1990s. Since the beginning of 2013, many people have started flying drones for fun.

UAV is defined as an aerial vehicle that does not carry a human operator, uses aerodynamic forces to provide vehicle lift, can fly autonomously or be piloted remotely, can be expandable or recoverable, and can carry a lethal or nonlethal payload. It is controlled either autonomously by on-board computers or by remote control of a pilot on the ground. Its usage is currently limited by difficulties such as satellite communication and cost. A Drone has been built that can be operated by radio frequency controller and send live audio-visual feedback. The developed Drone control system has been simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation shows a very stable operation and control of the developed Drone. Microcontroller based drone control system has also been developed where a RF transmitter and receiver operating in the frequency of 2.4 GHz are used for remote operation for the Drone. Earlier, Drones were deployed for military applications such as spying on both domestic and international threats. The developed drone in this work can be used for a number of applications, such as policing, firefighting, monitoring flood effected areas, recording video footage from impassable areas and both military and non-military security work. In addition, using an Android mobile device incorporation with GPS has been used for live position tracking of Drone and real time audio-visual feedback from Drone.

Technology is playing its part in globalization and the drone technology is such a technology with a usage ever increasing in a vast range of disciplines such as agriculture, health and military. Drones can provide real-time data on farms that enable farmers to make informed decisions regarding farm inputs usage. Also, they can be used to aerially deliver medical supplies like blood, vaccines, drugs, and laboratory test samples during health emergencies to remote areas in developing countries. Military drones also help in security and surveillance on the enemies' movements which then helps select for target killings. Though beneficial, drones can cause injuries and damages to people and properties if the user is not trained and if there is a component failure during flight. Drones could also be hijacked by an extremist and divert the payload for their self-interest. In this paper, the Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats analysis of the current developments of agricultural, medical, and military drones are presented.
