It’s likely that commercial drones will be further integrated into daily use to prevent outbreaks moving forward
The global drone market’s revenue was worth $18.28 billion in 2020, and it’s projected to skyrocket to $40.90 billion by 2027. This growth is largely due to the increasing number of product offerings in the market. DJI drone models, for instance, recently incorporated assessing and mapping features, which can prove highly useful for many industries. During the pandemic, drones also served various critical functions.
As we mentioned in a previous article, Shenzhen-based company MicroMultiCopter deployed over 100 drones to broadcast information across a large area, while Japan-based commercial drone service company Terra Donne operated drone deliveries for medical supplies. Because these drones are immune to infection, drone products helped respond to mobility challenges. It’s likely that commercial drones will be further integrated into daily use to prevent outbreaks moving forward. Here’s how:
Social distancing
Amy Webb, the founder of Future Today Institute, has suggested that we’re entering a Bioinformation Age in human history. Rather than focusing on privacy and personal choice, new social, government, and economic structures now require our data to operate. And we have seen how drones — equipped with object- and face-recognition, audio analytics, and motion detection features — are powerful tools, in terms of visualizing expansive areas and identifying people, particularly in search and rescue missions.
In the future, more countries will utilize drone capabilities to scan dense urban areas and broadcast messages through drone loudspeakers. Aside from social distancing surveillance, drones can allow governments to issue instructions or provide information to minimize physical contact. With better audio quality than a microphone, they can increase public awareness towards social distancing measures for even people without communication devices.
