International Drone Day

The scientific and technological revolution of the twentieth century led to the emergence and development of such applied science as robotics In 1933, British engineers developed the first unmanned aerial vehicle intended for repeated use UAVs, which have firmly entered our lives, are used in aerial photography for cartography, when conducting geodetic surveys, in monitoring oil pipelines and for delivering purchases Technical devices that move through the air without a crew or passengers on board perform tasks of varying importance In honor of UAVs, a holiday has been established - International Drone Day, which since 2016 has been celebrated on the first Saturday of May International Drone Day was first held in 2015 The holiday appeared on the calendar of special dates thanks to Sarah and David O'Neill, the organizers of events dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles These two British drone operators are the brains behind That Drone Show, an annual festival that educates people about how drones are used in different areas of life They are widely in demand in the film industry, when extinguishing fires, monitoring the operation of power plants, monitoring the environment, and searching for new mineral deposits UAVs are the future of military technology In 2015-1016 Sarah and David O'Neill, together with like-minded people, have organized more than 180 spectacular and educational events around the world More than 50 thousand people took part in shows, lectures and meetings The first International Drone Day took place on March 14th Later, it was decided to celebrate the holiday annually on the first Saturday of May 2016 was a turning point in the use of UAVs for commercial purposes - this year the US government granted the FAA permission to issue licenses for drone flights over the country's territories By 2021, there were nearly millions of UAVs registered in America Other countries are not lagging behind the United States The Israeli army became the first in the world to equip its troops with drones China, India and Japan are the leaders in the areas of application of UAVs In these countries, drones are used to notify the population, deliver various goods, including medicines, monitor the movement of vehicles and crowded places Experts predict that the drone market will be worth $428 billion by 2025 due to the growth of their commercial and industrial applications The advantage of using UAVs is their efficiency - the devices inspect fairly large areas, many of which are difficult to access Drones are used to inspect skyscrapers, bridges and pipelines - objects dangerous to human life and health in the event of an emergency The demand for drones and modern technologies is growing every year In Russia, UAVs are actively used in construction and agriculture The largest manufacturers of drones are the Kronstadt group of enterprises, the Ural Civil Aviation Plant, ZALA Aero (part of the Kalashnikov concern), the Special Technology Center and the Enix company Employees of these enterprises, UAV operators and everyone who uses the achievements of robotics in their professional activities celebrate International Drone Day on the first Saturday in May
