Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aerial transportation means which operates without on-board crew or passengers controlled by remote control, autonomously, or both. Unmanned aerial vehicle is the next generation aircraft technology used for surveillance, logistics, assessment and photography among others. Implementation of rules and regulation associated to usage of UAVs by several countries are directly influence the demand for unmanned aerial vehicle. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) also referred as drones. The demand in the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market is projected to increase in the coming few years due to the rapid adoption as well as incorporation of latest technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and sense and avoid systems in these unmanned aerial vehicles. Integration of artificial intelligence technologies in the products in the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market  has not just improved their flight and security capabilities but has also allowed them to function and accomplish activities such as easy take off, data analysis, data capture, navigation, and data transmission without the requirement for human intervention. Furthermore, the increasing usage of drones in several commercial applications in also projected to emerge as a significant driver for the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market  in coming years. The drones from the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market were earlier used for significantly border security operations. Commercial applications for the products in the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market  are product delivery and transportation along with aerial photography applications. In addition to this, the increasing affordability of commercial photography drones is anticipated to fuel the development in the global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) market  in coming years. On the other hand, the heavy infrastructure costs and dearth of skilled personnel for operating unmanned aerial vehicles will likely to impede the market growth.

Furthermore, the technological advancements in UAV are taking place at a rapid pace which is providing opportunities for the market growth. Moreover, these advancements are projected to lead to an increased use of drones in a wide range of sectors, ranging from commercial to military. One of the key areas of innovation is the development of armed UAV. The US has been a leader in terms of the usage of UAV in warfare for a long time. The three significant drones being deployed presently by the US are the MQ-1 Predator, MQ-1C Sky Warrior, and MQ-9 Reaper, from General Atomics. The MQ-1 Predator persists to be a generally used drone by the military of the US presently.
