Rise of the Drones

Expound Consulting recently undertook a preliminary study of drones and their future utility, providing the detailed results to a client. Safety and privacy concerns not withstanding, we found that the future of drone technology is set to explode, not just in the air, but on the land and sea as well. Drone technology is set to revolutionise the way we operate, commercially industrially, domestically and socially.

With existing products and prototypes on the market, R&D investment into autonomous systems need not be arduous or prohibitively expensive, even for small business as it may simply be a case of modifying off-the-shelf products to suit individual needs. Whether it is software, hardware or the integration of both, the maturity of technology providers is exponentially increasing.

The real risks to drone development and operation lie in litigation and regulation as governments the world over struggle to identify, control and mitigate risk in the autonomous environment.

If you still doubt the potential of autonomous systems for your business, contact us to find out how practical drone technology can change the way you operate.
