A drone is a type of advanced mechanical device that is capable of flying especially in the sky. It is a special type of unmanned space vehicle. While a helicopter or other space vehicle requires one or more people to fly but a drone does not. Drones can be controlled remotely via a wireless control system or automatically via pre-set programming. It is mainly operated by remote control or automatic navigation system with flying capability.

Drones are also known as very efficient and safe mechanical tools due to their small size and fast speed. Drones are one of the best inventions of the present age that we use in various fields today. But recently it is mostly used in war field. These drones provide information on everything from enemy planning to attack. Moreover many stands activities of Hollywood or Bollywood movies are being done with drones. Overall the development of drone technology and its versatile application has created new possibilities in many sectors of the world. Which is constantly getting better. The widespread use of drones has revolutionized many sectors worldwide.

Currently, drones are widely used in defense, military operations, surveillance, delivery and photography to personal use. The role of drones in weather forecasting and disaster management is also undeniable. On the other hand the use of drones in the film and media industry has added a new dimension to filming. Drones are also being used in the agricultural sector for crop health monitoring and fertilizer application. At present big companies like Google, Amazon are successfully using drones for various purposes including product transportation, communication protection, information transportation.

Drones are also playing a very important role in missile defense these days. A number of modern technologies work in synergy in the construction and operation of drones. Multi-propeller technology plays an important role in drones. It is because of this management that the drone is able to automatically fly and land safely without any failures. A multi-propeller system is a system where even if one of the motors suddenly fails then the drone can be brought back safely due to an integrated management strategy. In this case the other sections of the propeller do the overall coordination. Advanced AI technology drones can exchange information among themselves in group chats as well as make decisions through artificial intelligence. Drones can follow the patterns of flies and ants. These drones are also able to understand any commands. Also adept at solving complex questions. Drones can update images as well as share them with people. Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in drone technology to improve the capabilities of drones.

AI in drones means incorporating advanced algorithms and machine learning technologies. These technologies help the drone to fly automatically, detect obstacles, avoid and recognize various objects. The technology can also intelligently navigate and even make decisions. AI-powered drones can analyze huge amounts of data in real time. Hence agriculture, logistics and defense industries are the main users of these drones. Forests are being destroyed in different countries of the world including Europe-America due to fire.

Manned drones are already being used in firefighting. It is also planning to use artificial intelligence (AI) technology based drones to prevent fires. These drones can collectively patrol the skies using artificial intelligence. As a result the drones will be able to detect the fire before it gets bigger as well as put out the fire. AI powered drone capabilities play a very important role during today's challenging operations. In addition to understanding human language these drones also have the ability to understand the importance of the environment and prepare themselves accordingly. This artificial intelligence-based drone has the capability of dynamic mapping of any area, identifying and avoiding obstacles, following accurate patterns while flying, visual identification of people and objects. This drone can operate independently and safely in any operation without human assistance.
