Drone or UAV, which means unmanned aerial vehicle, is a reusable aircraft

There are a lot of applications for drones, especially for military use because

used in high-risk areas or inaccessible.

lives, for example Chernobyl.
These aircraft comply with regulatory rules laid down in the Open Skies
Treaty and also can cooperate in monitoring missions against drug
trafficking and terrorism.

possibilities in the civilian market:

Mapping: making maps and terrain elevation models with high resolution.
Agriculture: crop management.

Forestry services: monitoring forest areas, fire control.
