Growth Opportunities for Drones in Disaster Relief

Benefits of Using Drone and UAV Technologies in Dangerous Environments

Globally, the security industry serves customers involved with emergencies and natural disasters. These critical events have prompted drone vendors to accelerate the development of new technologies that can help mitigate disastrous situations. Hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, hostage situations, collapsed buildings, and diving missions are among the emergencies that security teams face today. However, the complexity and high price of most drone technologies make it challenging for many countries to incorporate them into their security systems. Looking ahead, incorporating unmanned aircraft vehicle (UAV) technologies into security systems will prove crucial to disaster relief investigations without risking human lives.

With the utilization of accurate UAV solutions, law enforcement agencies and federal departments are more quickly responding to emergency sites as these solutions can go through barricades and assist on-ground firefighting teams. Unmanned solutions are in their growth phase of development, but many industries are adding drone technologies to their security systems to boost efficiency.

This report discusses the top drivers and restraints affecting the drones in disaster relief space, the growth opportunities awaiting industry stakeholders, and example use cases in which drones have simplified security teams’ missions and investigations to help maintain public safety.
