Please can you advice on the following for MBA in Aviation Management Financial Analysis.
Scenario
Drones are more formally known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The aircraft may be remotely controlled or can fly autonomously through software-controlled flight plans in their embedded systems working in conjunction with GPS.
According to a recent survey the global market for drones, is expect to be worth $10 Million by 2020. In the Middle East alone, there are numerous government agencies which have started using these smart machines for functions such as inspection, surveillance, mapping, search and rescue, maintenance, distribution and many more.
The Drones Middle East Conference taking place from 24 -27 January 2016 will be the first ever conference in the Middle East focusing on government and commercial applications of drones.
IN the UK a consortium of aerospace and aviation companies have come together to explore the future benefits and opportunities of drone technology. This ground-breaking, £62 million effort, called the Astraea project is led by a consortium of seven companies: Airbus Defence & Space, AOS, BAE Systems, Cobham, QinetiQ, Rolls-Royce and Thales.
The aim of the ASTRAEA programme is to enable the routine use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) in all classes of airspace without the need for restrictive or specialised conditions of operation. This will be achieved through the coordinated development and demonstration of key technologies and operating procedures required to open up the airspace to UAS.
