Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are unmanned aircrafts that can be controlled remotely by a human operator, or fly autonomously through embedded software programs containing flight plans and utilizing on-board sensors and GPS. There are two main categories of drones; military drones and commercial drones, with a variety of use cases across agriculture, energy, government, construction, media & entertainment, and transportation.
The drones market size in Qatar was estimated at US$18.5m in 2018, and is expected to grow by 23% annually to reach US$41.9 million in 2022.
