| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Reports at Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) being used tor private and commercial use are a regular feature in the media. Does it mean that there is going to be sudden surge of UAVs tlying in the Indian skies trailing advertising banners, delivering pizza or monitoring traffic? This is highly unlikely considering that unregulated use of UAVs for private and commercial use in civil airspace will result in chaos and accidents, In 1944, Clarence Johnson, the legendary founder of Lockheed's Skunk Works and the designer of the SR-71 and U2 reconnaissance aircratt, predicted that the tuture of military aviation would belong to the UAV. It appears that the prediction is slowly but surely coming true; now the market lor civil and commercial applications of UAVs is poised for spectacular growth |
