Abstract

Background: In the modern technological era, drones have become one of the leading innovations in aviation. This study aims to present a comprehensive literature review on the development and application of drone technology in various contexts, including remote sensing, photogrammetry, military, and intelligence. Methods: A literature review was used to collect, evaluate, and analyse relevant literature from various sources, such as scientific journals, conferences, and reference books. This literature review identifies the development of drone technology from its initial form to their more sophisticated use in military and intelligence operations. Results: The review presents an overview of the role and contribution of drones in information gathering, earth surface mapping, surveillance, reconnaissance, as well as battlefield attacks. The implications of drone technology for future military operations are also discussed, including the integration of sensors, the development of communication systems, and improvements in the decision-making process. Conclusion: This research provides an in-depth understanding of the potential of drone technology and the challenges and opportunities associated with its application in various fields.
