The
fact that drones and UAVs are linked with military operations and unlawful
trespassing behavior often overshadows the peaceful and important role they
play in civil airspace. Nowadays, drones and UAVs play a significant role in
almost all fields of life. Farmers use them to water plants, camera men use
them to capture exquisite shots, astronauts use them to explore planets, and
recently mega corporations started to invest heavily in unmanned air delivery
& freight services.
The
recent increase in the rates of drone and UAV use encouraged big companies in
the air delivery and freight industries to invest in drone and UAV-based
delivery. It even prompted corporations who aren’t associated with air delivery
and freight services at all to experiment with the idea.
On
November 28th, Cyber Monday, Amazon announced their futuristic delivery system
that’s expected to deliver packages to customers within only 30 minutes. They
played a video that showed an aircraft delivering a pair of sneakers to a
customer with consummate ease. They announced that they service will be named
Amazon Air Prime. In April 2015, Amazon Air Prime began testing their first
parcelcopter. The date at which their first parcelcopter is expected to begin
operating is yet to be announced however with development reaching its peak and
the beginning of the testing phase, Jeff Bezos, Amazon’s CEO, announced
recently that they’re expected to start operation late 2018.
According
to forecasts, drones and UAV-based air delivery and freight services are
expected to reach the large sum of $36.9 billion by 2022, achieving an
unprecedented rate in the history of delivery and freight services.
The
birth of drone-based air delivery and freight services isn’t geographically
restricted to US only but also Europe. Earlier in 2016, Swiss Post Ltd.
announced that they’re going to launch their own line of drone manufacturing to
be used in post and parcels delivery. Such a breakthrough will change the
nature of air delivery and freight services. The company announced that its aim
to provide affordable drone and UAV-based delivery to Swiss residents. If the
project as imagined was successfully implemented it will mark another
unprecedented milestone by creating a drone service affordable to the common
man, as opposed to Amazon’s services which is expected to be expensive in
pricing and thus available exclusively to the elite and rich.
The
world as we know it will definitely see an irreversible change once the drone
and UAV-based air delivery and freight services kick in. Automation has already
taken over a large portion of our lives and with the introduction of drones and
UAVs as integral part of our daily routine, automation will be thorough and
full to say the least. The prophecies of science-fiction novels will be
fulfilled and our lives will become easier than ever. At the end this was meant
to happen, our lives were meant to be automated. From the beginning of the
industrial revolution, our thinkers realized that machines are the future and
humans are nothing but obsolete.
