In aviation, a drone refers to an aircraft or spacecraft that does not have a pilot to fly it. They are also called unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Initially, they were developed for military purposes to avoid putting a pilot's life at risk. However, today they are being used for varied purposes. The popularity of drones is increasing as, apart from flying, they offer additional features such as camera recording, built-in flight controllers, live telemetry, and real-time data sharing. Software-controlled flight plans, embedded systems, GPS and sensors enable drones to be controlled remotely or flown autonomously. In contemporary times, drones have applications in multiple fields such as real estate photography, agriculture, asset inspection, crop spraying, mapping and surveying, and payload carrying. This book contains a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of drone technology. The software and hardware components of drones have been explained in great detail herein. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
