Introduction
Drones are more formally known as
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). or
Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS).
Drones stand for Dynamic Remotely
Operated Navigation Equipment.
UAV can run without a human pilot and it
can be controlled by remote devices or
computer.
History
On 22 August 1849, the
Austrians used UAV for the
first time and attacked
Venice using Unmanned
Balloons loaded with
explosives.
History
Nikola Tesla invented a small unmanned boat that changes direction
on verbal command by using radio frequencies to switch motors on
and off.
The first pilotless radio controlled aircraft were used in World War I. In
1918, the U.S. Army developed the unmanned ‘flying Bomb’ aircraft,
which uas never used in combat.
In 1935, the British developed “Queen Bee”, a radio-controlled target
drone, which is also believed to have led to the use of term “drone,”
for radio-controlled unmanned aircrafts.
In 1940s, Reginald Denny sold about 15,000 radio-controlled target
drones to the U.S. Military to train the anti-aircraft gunners for World
War II.
History
In 1958, Curtis Wright Compnay designed Curtis Wright VZ-7 as a
US Army project which used variable thrust in the four propellers
to control flight so as to simpligy the workload for the Pilot.
Miniature and Micro UAVs became the part of research and soon
came into action in 1990.
In 2010, the Parrot AR Drone. a smartphone controlled
quadcopter for consumers was introduced at the Consumer
Electronics show in Las Vegas.
History
In 1986, Reconnaissance Drone was joint US and Israeli project which
produced the “RQ2 Pioneer”, a medium sized reconnaissance drone.
Classifiction
Drones come in Wide Varieties Of Sizes, Weight, Shapes And
Functions.
Drones Generly Are Of Two Types:
MQ-9 Reaper, A Hunter Killer Surveillance Uav (also known as
Killing Machine) they are usually deployed for Military And
special operation applications.
DJI Phantom Uav For Commercial And Recreational Areal
Photography. (also for educational and research purposes).

Working Principle
While drones serve a variety of purposes, such as recreational, photography, commercial
and military, their two basic functions are flight and navigation.
To achieve flight, drones consist of a power source, such as battery or fuel, rotors,
propellers and a frame. The frame of a drone is typically made of lightweight, composite
materials, to reduce weight and increase maneuverability during flight.
Drones require a controller, which is used remotely by an operator to launch, navigate
and land it. Controllers communicate with the drone using radio waves, including Wi-Fi.
In order to keep the quadcopter stable, the thrust of each rotor
should then be increasing order for compensation.
Take of Motion
Components
Drones contain a large number of technological components, including:
Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC), an electronic circuit that controls a motor's speed and
direction.
Flight controller
GPS module
Battery
Antenna
Receiver
Cameras
Sensors, including ultrasonic sensors and collision avoidance sensors
Accelerometer, which measures speed
Altimeter, which measures altitude

Conclusion
Drones have always risen to the occasion whenever they were
needed. They are truly an engineering spectacle, containing
the best of mechanical, electronics and software technology.
Drone will play a major role in almost all fields in near future.
Drones have become necessary to the security of the Nation.
Drones are cheap and effective war tools that save the lives of
Human pilot.
Drones are an advancing technology that will help in our daily
lives.
