European drones outlook study : unlocking the value for Europe.

'Drones' have been instrumental in providing new capabilities for European defence and have demonstrated significant growth as a consumer leisure product. Drones are offering public safety and security authorities new capabilities much in the same way they have for the military and are transforming commercial businesses. A core component to these new capabilities and transformations is the collection of data from strategic vantage points that have been either inaccessible or too expensive to be economically viable today. This core area of data processing is being extended to include the efficient transport of urgently needed goods within a local community or industrial site with longer term aspirations to transform large commercial vehicles for both cargo transport and also, someday, passenger transport.
