Flourishing with its expertise in monitoring, surveillance and security on land as well as water, Drone technology has captured a huge leap of imagination to picture various industries.

Drones/Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are flying robots that can be manually controlled or programmed to fly autonomously using onboard sensors and GPS. It has become a valuable asset allowing safe, easy and efficient access to places that are difficult or unsafe to reach. With the integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning tools, Drone technology is spanning across infrastructure management, military operations, disaster management, agriculture, outer space, medicine and many more… with its speedy and timely drone imagery and footage as well as deliveries.

While drone technology stands firm as a marvel promising new growth opportunities, will this unmanned aerial vehicle with Bird's eye view capture the government laws of security and privacy vulnerabilities?
