Drones have been used militarily since the early 20th century but have become more advanced and widespread in recent decades. The document outlines the history of drones and their various types, including how they differ based on size, range, aerial platform, and abilities. Drones provide advantages for tasks like surveillance and videography but also have disadvantages like potential restrictions on their use and risks of violating privacy laws.

3.  History:
 An Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle. UAVs include both autonomous (means
they can do it alone) drones and remotely piloted
vehicles (RPVs).
 A UAV is capable of controlled, sustained level flight
and is powered by a jet, reciprocating, or electric
engine. In the 21st century, technology reached a point
of sophistication that the UAV is now being given a
greatly expanded role in many areas of aviation.
 A UAV differs from a cruise missile in that a UAV is
intended to be recovered after its mission, while a
cruise missile impacts its target. A military UAV may
carry and fire munitions on board, while a cruise missile
is a munitions.

4. FEATURES OF DRONES:

5.  Drones are very popular because mass
media networks patronize its functionality
and efficiency when capturing videos and
images. You will notice that drones are
common in touristy areas due to travel
blogger promotions. Video bloggers use
drones to further increase the popularity of
their videos; hence, promoting the device to
other new Loggers. Travel companies use
drones to maximize the tourism potential of
an area that is popular to all tourists.
ADVANTAGES

6. DISADVANTAGES:
 There are concerns or troubles in drones that affects
user’s navigation routine. A local government unit
sometimes restricts the use of drones when there is
an ongoing military conflict. Drones are also blocked
from entering a restricted zone such as military
facilities that are conducting experimentation and
active military training inside their camps. These
growing restrictions prompts drone users to consider
the rules and regulations of drone usage to a certain
area so that they will not be subjected to either ethical
or legal violations. User violators are at risk for legal
apprehension that could mandate them to pay for
financial compensation or imprisonment for several
days if caught violating laws.

7. TYPES OF DRONES:

8.  DEPENDING ON SIZE

9. DEPENDING ON RANGE
 Very Close Range
 Toy drones usually come under this category. These drones have a
range of around 5km. They can stay in the air for 20 minutes or longer,
up to an hour.
 Close Range
 These can be controlled from up to 50km away from the user. A powerful
battery allows them to stay in the air for up to 6 hours. The military uses
these drones often.
 Short Range
 The drones which can be controlled from 150km away are known as
short range drones. They can stay airborne for up to 12 hours, and are
another breed of drones that are popular for the purpose of spying and
surveillance.
 Mid-Range
 You can control these drones from as far away as 650km! While
surveillance is a natural use for these drones, they are also a popular

10. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF AERIAL PLATFORM
 Multi Rotor
 These drones carry several motors on their bodies. They can stay
in a stable position in one spot in the air for a long time, so they
are a popular choice for aerial photography and surveillance.
 Fixed Wing
 The other major drone design consists of the fixed wing model,
where the drone mimics the construction style of aeroplanes.
These drones cannot stay in one place, but instead glide on their
set path for as long as their energy source permits.
 Single Rotor
 A single rotor is used to fly the drone, while another, smaller rotor
near the tail controls the direction. Also known as RC helicopters,
these drones are more efficient than multi-rotor drones. They can
fly higher, stay in one position without spinning, and often use gas
to power their bodies instead of electricity.

12. DEPENDING ON ABILITIES
 Quad copters
 The most popular model on the market, the quad copter
uses 4 rotors positioned at the ends of a square on the
drone body. This design is used to create toy drones as well
as bigger, worker drones.
 GPS Drones
 These drones are linked to satellites via GPS. The drones
makes use of the satellite to decide the direction of their
flight, and return to the owner after running out of battery.
 RTF Drones
 Ready-to-fly drones are quick and easy to use. Simply buy
the drone, take it out of the box fully assembled, and charge
it up. A great point of introduction to the world of drone
flying!

13.  Trick Drones
 Small, fast and manoeuvrable, trick drones are usually used
as toys, and can perform barrel rolls, flips and other flashy
and entertaining moves in the air. They do not usually come
with extra accessories that might weight them down.
 Helicopter Drones
 This model uses a single rotor to stay up in the air. It
resembles a remote-control helicopter that can stay in the air
for a long time.
 Delivery Drones
 These are fast becoming a popular choice with companies
that need to move inventory. Delivery drones have an anchor
or basket attached to their body where the package can be
affixed and transported by the drone.

14. CONCLUSION:
 It is obvious that drone technology is an important part of
the future of warfare and is set to become a big commercial
industry. The fact that drones capabilities pose a threat to
the liberties of people around the globe is also apparent.
Legislating on drones now is of paramount importance
because it sets the necessary limitations to protect rights as
drones are used in the future.
Limitations must be put in place as to where the line
between effective drone use and excessive drone use is.
Drones have the potential to become a vital part of society,
but they also come with a lot of disadvantages. For every
successful drone strike on foreign soil, many more
innocents are killed.
