The earliest development of UAV was after World War I, but it was widely used in the military after World War II. The drone initially played the role of reconnaissance. With the development of science and technology, drones have more applications in the military.
Drones can also be used as:
1. Express service
65438+ Last February, Jeff, CEO of e-commerce giant Amazon? Jeff Bezos showed off a delivery drone designed and developed by Amazon, saying that it will provide the so-called "Prime Air" service, with the goal of delivering the goods to your door in 30 minutes or less.
In China, SF has set up a special R&D department to study how to deliver express delivery to customers more quickly. Since September last year, SF has been testing the drone distribution process in Songshan Lake, Dongguan City, Guangzhou.
However, SF's drone project does not directly contact customers, and is limited to distribution between distribution outlets.
2. Search and rescue after the disaster
A team from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology has developed a drone for search and rescue, which can locate the missing or trapped people by accurately locating the cell phone signal.
This search and rescue drone can determine the location of mobile phones within 9 meters, confirm the approximate range of mobile phone signals in multiple locations, and then narrow the range through triangulation.
After avalanches and earthquakes, this search and rescue drone system is particularly useful.
