Abstract

Due to the processes and specialized research of the revolution in technological and scientific information of the last few decades, the development of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) has now reached the state where it may become a defining factor in the market of civil technologies. In the wake of efforts to enhance aviation safety since the first generation of multicopters, hobby and professional tools have become available that—provided that statutory requirements are flexible enough—could be used in corporate and government sectors alike.However, the use of such equipment to improve public services would require a strategic-level policy change. Due to rapid technological changes, the speed at which drones are developing is unprecedented, and such equipment is becoming dated significantly faster than, for example, the planned life-cycle of military equipment.These circumstances call for a solution that breaks away from existing procurement principles, and is able to continuously provide government organizations with equipment that meets the latest technical standards, and supports the efficient execution of the most diverse specialized tasks.This publication aims to present the complexity, technical dimensions and development trends of “drone science”, along with suggestions on how their use could be efficiently integrated into the toolbox of public service tasks.

Highlights

  • The term “global drone market” has only emerged in the last five years, and the related market research and preparation of various forecasts has already grown into an independent business segment

  • Cooperation during the establishment of categories is paramount. Based on both the military and commercial purpose forecasts, the decades will bring about a widespread use of unmanned aerial vehicles

  • Due to the exponential and complex technical development processes, costly military developments are gradually losing their technological benefits, and demands are growing for the adaptation and integration of cost-efficient civilian technology and equipment

Summary

Introduction

The term “global drone market” has only emerged in the last five years, and the related market research and preparation of various forecasts has already grown into an independent business segment. This fact alone shows that the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and the associated technology is skyrocketing, bringing about a potentially significant change in many areas within only a few years. For 2024 this amount—primarily due to the intense expansion of public service and corporate uses—will increase to a 3.3-billion-dollar scale, almost doubling in three years It will cover slightly more than one quarter of the entire market, exceeding 12 billion dollars. The primary goal of this publication is to provide an overview of the underlying linkages of the scientific and technological developments and their impacts and expected results, while integrating those in attempts to improve the efficiency of the public service task system
