Although drones have multiple potential uses, there are certain obstacles to their
widespread use. Some of these barriers are summarized below.
7.1 Power source
One of the biggest problems for these vehicles, which have managed to work with
increasingly smaller and lighter components, is the power requirement. Due to the
limited flight times, developing drones capable of long flights with smaller and more
powerful batteries remain the priority to solve this problem. Another important
expectation is the development of systems that can analyze the terrain with object
detection and recognition software instead of onboard systems that require increased
weight and more power.
7.2 Security
The biggest obstacle to drone use is security. All human-operated aircrafts inher-
ently pose a risk of falling. Working on limited battery power, having fast spinning
propellers, and the potential to fall from heights greatly threaten living things,
structures, and the environment due to the increasing number of drones. In addi-
tion to obtaining the necessary permits for flights to be made in residential areas, it
is essential to develop technologies to prevent possible accidents by autonomously
detecting drone obstacles. The importance of safe use is increasing, especially with
using drones in daily life. On the other hand, law enforcement should be put in place
to limit drones’ interference with the privacy of others.
Drones are becoming a bigger target for cyberattacks as their use increases.
Hackers can intercept the transmitted data to take control of the drone. For this
purpose, extra measures should be developed to protect drones and the information
they store, such as using protective software or passwords.
