Introduction
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also sometimes
generally referred to as drones, are aircraft that do not have a human
pilot, crew, or passengers on board (Angurala, 2022). These
remote-controlled or autonomous airplanes are redefining entire
industries and how we engage with the outside world. It is also known as
remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) (Angurala, 2022), can also fly under
human control, providing a great deal of versatility for both military
and commercial applications. UAVs were first created for defence purpose
in the 20th century, and their main functions were tactical
support, surveillance, and reconnaissance during military operations
(Angurala, 2022). Today, drones are already used in a wide range of
industries, including filmmaking, disaster relief, environmental
monitoring, and agriculture, demonstrating their enormous potential and
versatility. However, their growing use has raised significant concern
over privacy, security, and the future of human involvement in a variety
of businesses. In addition to changing how activities are completed, the
quick development of UAV technology is also pushing the limits of
conventional aviation, regulatory, and ethical norms. UAVs have the
potential to influence technology in previously unthinkable ways due to
their developing capabilities.
