Drone RP1
ABSTRACT:
Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have been used by the military since WWI for remote surveillance. A
ground-based controller, and a system of communications between the two. mainly wireless protocol like ZigBee. In the last
decade, farmers have begun using them to monitor their fields as well as aiding precision agriculture programs. There are
estimates that 80 to 90% of the growth in the drone market in the next decade will come from agriculture. The ease
of use and ability to specialize each system means there will be a UAV for every situation. The Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulation currently limits drone usage to recreational. Rules for commercial use are expected
to come out in September of 2015. UAVs can monitor fields more often than satellites, take more detailed pictures,
and are not obstructed by clouds. The different types of cameras can monitor data like photosynthesis rates or find
where patches of weeds are in a field. As the technology gets better and the cost continues to decrease, drones will
have wider use in today’s farm fields.
Visualizing and making drone use data universally available will reduce accidental drone trespassing and
will guide users to where drone fly-zones areas are located. To achieve this goal, a geodatabase was designed with
five feature classes to show the required data and steps necessary to catalogue and display drone use data properly.
A web-GIS map was then constructed that allows users to differentiate between types of fly zones and obtain
details regarding the permissibility of drone flight in these zones. This geodatabase, coupled with the web-GIS
map of appropriate and inappropriate drone use fly-zones, provides an effective model for other states to use to create
their own drone use maps
Proposed future research pathways on drone’s technology and their applications were being done as
well to understand the future trend and possible advancement for drones.
