Drones have been used in many civil applications due to their ease of deployment, low maintenance cost, high mobility, and ability to hover. Such unmanned Ariel vehicles are being utilized for real-time monitoring of road traffic, precision agriculture, rescue operations, remote sensing, providing wireless coverage, search and delivery of goods, security and surveillance, and civil infrastructure inspection. Drones have already expanded their business to the consumer market, and now they're being put to work in civil government and commercial applications. This expansion is creating a Civil Drone market opportunity for many commercial drone providers around the world. Drones can be used for various application such as in agriculture industry it can increase crop yields. Similarly, it is used in various other applications such as energy & power, real estate, and others. Civil drones have the potential to transform business models and tackle societal challenges around the world. Several governments in the globe are investing in civil drones to encourage innovation. Large enterprises and growing start-up are investing in commercial drones. A lot is happening lately on the subject of drone applications in agriculture and precision farming. From the ability to image, recreate and analyze such as identification of individual leaves on a corn plant from 120 meters’ height, to getting information on the water-holding capacity of soils to variable-rate water applications, agricultural practices are changing due to drones delivering agricultural intelligence for both farmers and agricultural consultants.

It is expected that, in the coming years all of the possible uses for drones will be fleshed out by drone service providers and farmers itself for precision farming. A boost in crop intelligence will make farms more efficient and help smaller operations compete with their more well-heeled big agriculture competitors. Some of the esteemed functionalities of drones in precision farming are; crop health monitoring, irrigation equipment monitoring, mid-field weed identification, variable-rate fertility monitoring and cattle herd monitoring. These application list is bound to undergo quite some growth over the forecast period as more and more research takes place certainly when most of the countries’, airspace will be opened for certified drone equipped agricultural service providers.
