What is Public Safety Drones Market?
Drones are being safely integrated into our national airspace for recreational, commercial, and public safety uses. The public safety application that drones are ideally suited for is search and rescue. It is typically very time consuming and difficult for ground teams to efficiently cover large areas in their search for injured or distressed individuals, but drones are able to quickly cover those areas and can utilize thermal signatures by means of FLIR cameras to locate the missing or distressed individual and assess their status. Police departments are putting drones to use in many different ways, including crowd monitoring and crime scene mapping. Drones equipped with zoom cameras are able to scan a large crowd from above to get the whole scene, and also zoom down to pick up minute details such as individual faces, logos on a backpack, etc., while object tracking features can allow the drone to keep tabs on any suspicious characters moving through the crowd.
The market study is being classified by Type (Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV), Hybrid Vehicles, Fixed Wing Drone and Rotary Wing Drone), by Application (Defense & Security, Surveying Land, Infrastructure Inspection, Security & surveillance and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.

Market Leaders and some development strategies
In Sept 2019, Parrot’s newest drone comes with smartphone-powered FPV goggles. The new Anafi FPV (for first-person view) is being sold as a package with a headset that puts pilots in their drone’s perspective. But instead of a dedicated screen inside the goggles, Parrot’s approach is to have users slot a smartphone in, similar to headsets like the Samsung Gear VR or Google Cardboard.
In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the regulatory agency governing US airspace, allows the use of drones in the energy sector since this sector involves fewer safety issues as energy devices are located especially in low population areas. FAA rules are designed to exploit the economic potential of drones without jeopardizing aviation safety since all operations conducted in civil airspace must meet minimum levels of safety. From a legal point of view, there are two possible approaches regarding the regulation of drones: the federal government can be responsible to regulate drones, or states can be responsible to regulate with the federal government being responsible to give general rules and uniformity to states’ regulations. According to FAA rules, public UAS operators can selfcertify, whereas, civil operators are certified by the FAA
