The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (Drones) is increasing for commercial and Government use as well as for leisure. The different uses are many, which can include drone solutions in the protection of critical infrastructure. If we consider IoT the connector to of devices, a drone is a device in the family of IoT. Drones are replacing stationary connected sensors which can be used to deploy in multiple locations, capable of in flight reprogramming, intelligence gathering, geospatial positing and more. This will require solutions capable of managing, categorizing, analyzing and providing information in multimedia formats. Analytics and business intelligence tools combined with the data received from drones will empower decision makers enabling them to abstract, predict, and react to real-time solutions.ACT-IAC White Paper: Drones in the Federal Airspace and the Internet of Things
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) is increasing exponentially. Apart from leisure activities, drones are transforming the ways in which businesses and government carry out their missions. Drones are transforming everything from agriculture and emergency management to national security and the delivery of goods and services. Drones take on an entirely new dimension as nodes in the emerging Internet of Things infrastructure. As replacements for stationary sensors drones expand the user’s ability to collect information.
