Drone History
Going back in history, a drone is simply an unarmed vehicle – or a vehicle in which an operator is not physically located. One of these early forms of drones was for military operations such as in 1839 when Austrian soldiers attacked the city of Venice with unmanned balloons filled with explosives.
From the earliest drones to more modern ones such as those used by the U.S. in the Cold War, and those used by Israel in 1982, where the military used drones alongside manned aircraft to wipe out the Syrian air fleet with minimal losses, drone technology has advanced significantly.
More Recent Drone Use
It was around the early 2000s when drone operators were no longer only in the military with a small number of non-military operators who were niche hobbyists. Around this time is when non-military government agencies started to use drones for things such as disaster relief, border surveillance and wildfire fighting, to name just a few of the government’s use of drones. Corporations began using drones to do things such as to inspect pipelines and to spray pesticides on farms.
