ORF CyFy 2022 || Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a transformative tech. While drones are used in the aerospace and defence domain, their use in civilian sectors is still limited. There are promising commercial applications in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, mining, infrastructure, e-commerce, and logistics. Drones can also facilitate regular accurate mapping of relatively unconnected and remote areas, enabling improved delivery of government services, as was the case with India's SVAMITVA project. The commercial drone market is poised to take-off in the next decade: How are governments and industry working to capitalise on the growth potential of drones, both domestically and overseas? What role can international partnerships play to bolster responsible adoption of drone tech?
