The Literature Review of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Industry

Abstract

The development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) originated in the 1920 s of the 20th century and was used for air strikes on the battlefield. In the following decades, unmanned aerial vehicles were developed and used for military activities many times. At present, the energy supply types of mainstream unmanned aerial vehicles are divided into three types: battery power supply, liquid fuel power supply and hybrid oil and electricity power supply. However, the current mainstream unmanned aerial vehicle energy supply system still has disadvantages, so in the future, the development direction of unmanned aerial vehicles must be the lack of improving unmanned aerial vehicle Systems, and innovation is achieved in unmanned aerial vehicle technology with new technology. The commercial and military development of drones depends on new technology, this paper aims to review the current situation of unmanned aerial vehicle industry and predict the future development trend and direction of unmanned aerial vehicle industry in combination with the current situation.
