An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be defined as an aircraft system that can be controlled using a remote or an onboard computer system. Over the years, UAVs have undergone several technological advancements. These developments have led to wide-scale adoption of vehicles for a diverse range of applications across commercial and non-commercial end users.

UAVs are a part of the unmanned aerial system (UAS) that includes a UAV, a controller on ground, and a communication system between UAV and controller. Most UAVs use radiofrequency and cellular network technology to establish a communication link with the ground station. Satellite communication (SATCOM) is being adopted due to the increasing demand for UAVs to operate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) range and secured communication link, satellite communication (SATCOM) is being adopted.

BIS Research has been tracking the growing adoption of drones and unmanned systems, and the frequent augmentation of drone technology has brought about a variety of changes right from the reduction in size to the increase in the degree of automation in drones, further opening up new avenues for business opportunities.

Unmanned systems have emerged as a cost-effective solution for a wide range of commercial applications such as precision agriculture, surveying, aerial photography, and mapping.

Military unmanned aircraft systems address the scenario of various country defense strategies with respect to the procurement of UAS for different applications such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), target acquisition, combat operations, search and rescue, and delivery and transport.
• Global Drone Delivery Market: The introduction of drones in the delivery service market has rapidly transformed the process of deliveries, further leading to a change in consumer behavior. Drones or autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are a popular option for last-mile deliveries, essentially parcels for remote or rural areas with less population density. The drone delivery service market is majorly growing due to the increasing demand for instant deliveries, especially in the case of medical supplies and food essentials. The growing need for healthcare deliveries such as blood samples and medicines, especially in remote areas or during any global epidemic, is also one of the major reasons behind the expected drift from traditional package delivery systems to drone delivery services.
• Global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Market: The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) industry analysis by BIS Research projects the market to grow at a significant CAGR of 13.27% based on value during the forecast period 2020-2025. The global UAV market has gained widespread importance due to the growing usage of drones for inspection, surveying, transport and logistics, and agricultural spraying. Some of the drones provide surveillance and monitoring services to the military, homeland security, and law enforcement applications, which is fueling the growth of the market.
