Drones, UAV for Aerial Surveillance
Surveillance drones are unmanned aircraft used to gather still images, video recordings or live video of targets such as people, vehicles or specific areas. They may be used by governments, militaries, law enforcement or commercial entities to gather information and intelligence that can be used to assist decision-making.
Using drones for surveillance can provide access to areas that may be difficult or impossible to reach by humans on foot or in land vehicles. Many drones are quieter than manned aircraft, can fly at lower altitudes and are less expensive to operate. Using military and law enforcement surveillance drones in potentially dangerous environments such as battlefields or crime scenes can also prevent putting humans at risk.
