Drone technology is rapidly evolving. Although drones may seem like a recent development, they actually date back to over a century ago. The first drones appeared during World War I; however, they were only successful in creating pilotless aircraft, not in utilizing them in war. Now, 100 years later, drones are surging in popularity in the defense sector. These drones monitor hostile areas and reduce safety risks to soldiers. Government entities also utilize drones for search and rescue operations, firefighting, and surveillance purposes. Using drones instead of, or in addition to, manned aircraft can make operations safer, more efficient, and more cost-effective.
