What is the use of drones other than aerial photography?

In recent years, the development of drone aerial photography technology is obvious to all of us. Nowadays, drones can be seen in various fields. With the continuous improvement of drone technology, the application field and scope of drones are still expanding. Let’s take a look at the six major application fields of unmanned aerial vehicles.

1、 Disaster relief

In our lives, there are many natural disasters, such as mudslides, landslides, floods, and so on. When these disasters occur, we need to understand the disaster situation in a timely manner. At this time, we can enter the affected area through drones, analyze the affected area and the disaster situation through images, fully understand the real-time information of the disaster, and facilitate rescue work.

This can not only make up for the shortcomings of manual search and rescue, but also avoid wasting too much manpower, improve the search and rescue effect, and achieve the goal of scientific disaster relief.

2、 Street scene shooting, monitoring and inspection

Using unmanned aerial vehicles with camera devices, large-scale aerial photography is carried out to achieve the effect of aerial overlooking. The so-called “aerial photography” here is not something we are exposed to on a daily basis. Instead, professional aerial photography is used to provide information for a certain field. In areas covered by clouds and fog all year round, when remote sensing satellites are not smart enough, unmanned aerial vehicles may have to take the lead.

3、 Environmental testing

The application of unmanned aerial vehicles in the field of environmental protection can be roughly divided into three types.

Environmental monitoring: Observing the status of air, soil, vegetation, and water quality, as well as quickly tracking and monitoring the development of sudden environmental pollution incidents in real time

Environmental law enforcement: Environmental supervision departments use unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with collection and analysis equipment to cruise specific areas, monitor the exhaust and wastewater emissions of enterprises and factories, and search for pollution sources

3. Environmental governance: Using a flexible wing drone with a catalyst and weather detection device to spray pesticides in the air, the working principle of drone spraying is the same, eliminating haze in a certain area.

4、 Power patrol inspection

Unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with high-definition digital cameras, cameras, and GPS positioning systems can regularly achieve autonomous navigation along the power grid, carry out a full line inspection, ensure circuit safety, and facilitate increased search efforts in key areas of the line. Real-time transmission of captured images allows monitoring personnel to synchronously watch and manipulate them on a computer.

5、 Traffic surveillance

UAV participation in urban traffic management can bring its own expertise and advantages into play and help public security urban traffic management departments jointly solve the persistent traffic problems in large and medium-sized cities. It can not only ensure the implementation of urban traffic development planning from the macro perspective, but also conduct real-time monitoring and traffic flow regulation from the micro perspective, build a three-dimensional traffic management system of water, land, and air, achieve regional control, ensure smooth traffic flow, and respond to unexpected traffic events, Implement emergency rescue.

6、 Agricultural plant protection

UAVs are used as flight platforms, carrying medicine boxes, spraying equipment, or monitoring equipment to spray pesticides or collect data on farmland. With the improvement and implementation of China’s drone policy, where there are laws to follow, and the rapid and efficient advantages of plant protection drones, this field is bound to attract more and more attention.

Air Future Aviation is a general aviation enterprise established with the approval of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and is also the only general aviation enterprise in Nanchang that is engaged in flight license training and experience flight, providing comprehensive flight services for flight enthusiasts. Let every friend who likes flying and loves flying realize their dream of flying, and let the blue sky be within reach.
