Introduction to safety methodology SORA v2.5
"Eyes in the sky":
drones are part of the
Digital Transformation
They create value as a tool for digitisation and automation of operations. First, they were used in the audiovisual professional sector for wedding photography or video shootage of wildlife documentaries. Gradually, embedded software and image processing software became more and more sophisticated, and professional drones became relevant in agriculture, infrastructure inspection, construction, emergency services. Eventually, the benefit of drones as professional tools applied to a wide array of business fields. Specifically, these applications are all about sourcing images or information from the sky.
Next:
drones performing actions and transporting goods?
Tomorrow, as the autonomous revolution develops, autonomous drones will be able to transport goods over long distances. Yet, in terms of aeronautical safety, there is a gap between on one hand a drone of a few hundred grams evolving within line of sight under the control of its remote pilot, and on the other hand, a heavier aircraft evolving automatically beyond the visual line of sight. Undoubtedly, the technological challenge is tremendous and exciting.
