ARE DRONES OUR BEST FRIENDS?

Unexpected convergent consequences..

This is what happens when different exponential technologies all explode onto the scene at onceAn expert might be reasonably good at predicting the growth of a single exponential technology (e.g., 3D printing), but

Try to predict the future when AI, robotics, VR, IoT and computation are all doubling, morphing and recombining.

You have a very exciting (read: unpredictable) future

drone = opportunityordrone = threat

Try to solve:

A drone is an aerial robot that can be controlled remotely or autonomously.Over the past few years, a technological tipping point, driven by the smartphone electronics industry, has demonetized the price of drones and democratized their use for everyone.The cost of MEMs, accelerometers and gyroscopes have dropped 10 to 100-fold at the same time that cheap and powerful microcontrollers enable low-cost and powerful navigational control systems.

As a result, we now have drones that everyone can use, and companies like DJI, Parrot, 3D Robotics are enabling both a consumer and entrepreneurial drone renaissanceWith the addition of next-generation sensors and high bandwidth communications, drones are now effective data gathering platforms used by the Construction, Agriculture, Oil & Gas and Security industries.

Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

1 - Drones go into mainstream businessOver the past few years, drones have moved from the "government phase" to the "consumer phase" into the "commercial phase"In the consumer phase, the drone was more toy than tool.

The video capabilities and simple flight interfaces made them fun and accessible.

But more recently, these toys have been rapidly turning into tools, and we're thinking of them now as

"sensors in the sky."Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

1 - Drones go into mainstream businessIt's like we forget about the drone.

Now, we are just connecting a sensor to the cloud and that sensor's in the air.

It's below the satellites and above street view.Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 2015

With today's drones you get connectivity, you get the cloud, and if you architect your system correctly, the drone is just an extension of the Internet.

When you distribute the computational task between these three things (the drone, the cloud, and the Internet), you get a very powerful platform that can do an extraordinary number of things.

think of it as extending the App Store into the sky!Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 20152. Consumer drones run distributed computation, running apps on drone, phone and cloud simultaneously.

Drones are very powerful computing platforms.

They now have built-in, Linux-based, computer vision technology.

They look like toys (and you can use them as toys), but they're really flying AI platforms, and this is just the beginning.

Right now we're doing 1 gigahertz but with these converging technologies, we're going to be moving to multicore, multi-gigahertz GraphiCPUs, the works and they're going to be selling for less than a thousand bucks.

Top Recent Drone Breakthroughs: 2013 - 20154. Prices for autonomous GPS-guided drones fall 50% (US $500), go mass-market retailDrones are demonetizing rapidly.

Ten years ago, drones were million-dollar military/industrial things.

Today they are on the shelves of Walmart. But it didn't stop there...

So what's in store for the near future?Here are predictions for the most exciting, disruptive developments coming in drone technology over the next three years. As investors, these are the areas you should be focusing on, as the business opportunities are tremendous.

Drones are powerfulDrones are avaiableDrones are performing

Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 2018The next big breakthrough in drone research will be sense-and-avoid.

Right now, drones are either manually piloted or GPS piloted, but as we integrate them into our urban fabric, they'll need true autonomy.

Drones will need to have eyes.

Sensors like radar, LiDAR, stereo vision, sonar, and they'll need to use this to autonomously avoid obstacles and fly.

It's environmental awareness and it is necessary to safely navigate worlds they've never explored.1. Computer vision, sense-and-avoid and optical tracking

Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 20182. Major software companies integrate drone data into core offerings, taking "reality capture" mainstreamIt's really hard to digitize the physical world!

Satellites are too high, and two-thirds of the planet's covered by clouds at any given point in time.

Street View is limited to the street.

The way we're going to digitize the planet is by putting sensors out there on drones, with anywhere/anytime access to the sky.

Once we do that, we'll create the biggest big data opportunity we've ever seen.

Autodesk, Salesforce, ESRI, Google, etc. want to take that data and turn it into analytics to track all kinds of things, like how things change.

Top Anticipated Drone Breakthroughs 2016 - 20183. Drones surpass satellites in amount of data gathered and usedA transition is happening!

Earth observation started in the space age with satellites.

We're going to see drones become the main way that we digitize the planet from the air thanks to the avaiability of different sensors.

Satellites are going to be complimentary, covering big areas but at lower resolution."

Both Amazon, Google, Facebook, Inter, Qualcomm have announced their strategy in the drone industry.

View in the future

What might a standard drone look like, when we lifted all limits in the near future? Presumably, this drone would be an autonomous flying machine - modular constructed, equipped with a variety of sensors and tools, available in any sizes, incredibly fast, with unimaginable capacity and boundless energy.

It could become an everyday part of our society.

drone = opportunityordrone = threat

Try to solve:

There is hardly any other technology currently developing as fast as drone technology. However, the increase in drone efficiency also means more opportunities to misuse them for criminal purposes. When your airspace is exposed, no longer are fences, video cameras, and security guards adequate to protect sensitive buildings or personal.

The drones (UAVs) are representing a new threat to the security system.

Detection of these drones has become an important factor for the maintenance of the security.

The main drivers of this growth are increased security incidences by the unidentified drones and use of drones for terrorist activities. Drones = threat Reasons Why

Drones a Growing Threat to Network Security

http://www.lightreading.com/drones/drones-a-growing-threat-to-network-security/d/d-id/721225One example shown at last year's DefCon show is a device called Aerial Assault, a drone designed to find and pinpoint the location of (via GPS) unsecured networks.

The developers intend to market it shortly at an expected cost of $2,500.

At their core, drones are little more than computers that fly. At DEFCON, the large hacker conference held annually in Las Vegas, David Jordan of Aerial Assault revealed a drone that can swoop down and break into computer networks.

On board the drone, an ultra-cheap Raspberry Pi computer runs Kali Linux, an aggressive cybersecurity diagnostic tool that looks for weaknesses in the systems it attacks. Set up as a security testing tool, with some reconfiguring it could go from a testing device to an actual weapon.

The Aerial Assault drone looks for unsecured networks, and using its onboard GPS it records the locations of the targets and relays that information back to the remote pilot. The pilot can then decide whether to use Kali Linux to, say, hack into the network's servers.

using Wi-Fi and connecting to an unsecured network port on the drone itself. With a simple text command, Satterfield, a researcher, sends a hovering drone crashing to the ground.Drone companies are not known for their cybersecurity finesse.

Twice at this years annual hacker conference DEFCON, presenters demonstrated hacks on the Parrot drone.

Man arrested for landing 'radioactive' drone on Japanese Prime Minister's roofThe drone was discovered on the roof by an official, who was giving a tour of the building to new employees.

Governments around the world are struggling with how to regulate the use of drones, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and affordable - Japan has set up a taskforce to deal control the use of drones, in an effort to protect public buildings from the security threat.40-year old Yasuo Yamamoto turned himself in to police late on Friday night, claiming he landed the drone on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's roof in protest against the Japanese government's nuclear energy policy.Fukui is home to around a quarter of Japan's 48 nuclear reactors - all are offline after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, but Mr Abe's government wants to restart as many of the reactors as possible.The small drone, which was equipped with a camera, was also carrying a plastic bottle which Yamamoto says was filled with sand from Fukushima, where radiation levels are still high after the tsunami-trigged meltdown of the Fukushima Dai-ichi power plantSaturday 25 April 2015http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/man-arrested-for-landing-radioactive-drone-on-japanese-prime-ministers-roof-10203517.html

Anti-Drone Market by Technology (Laser System, Traditional Kinetic System, Electronics System), Vertical (Military and Defense, Commercial, Homeland Security), and Region (North America, Europe, APAC, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2022March 2016The anti-drone market is expected to reach USD 1.14 Billion by 2022 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.89% between 2017 and 2022.

The key drivers responsible for this are increased security breach incidences by the unidentified drones and increased terrorism and illicit activities.

The use of drones for border trespassing and smuggling has increased, thereby resulting into border security concern. This is a key factor driving the demand for anti-drone systems in the military and defense vertical.

Anti-Drone Market by Technology (Laser System, Traditional Kinetic System, Electronics System), Vertical (Military and Defense, Commercial, Homeland Security), and Region (North America, Europe, APAC, RoW) - Global Forecast to 2022March 2016As the anti-drone system technology is fairly new in the market, the technologies used to manufacture the anti-drone systems are not very popular. On the other hand, the market players who are introducing these new technologies are planning to patent it. Moreover, the cost incurred in research and development aspect is quite high due to the use of laser and other costly technologies.
