From monitoring the snow to the identification of cows .. so rely on UAVs

science and technology

UAVs in Utah are hovering near the avalanches to see massive snow, and in North Carolina, they are looking for endangered bird nests. In Kansas, unmanned drones have come close to identifying diseased cows.

Public transport agencies use drones in almost every state, according to a survey obtained by the Associated Press before being released on Monday.

The report by the American Association of Highway and Transport Officials shows a sharp increase in the use of drones over the past few years, reflecting governments' rapid adoption of the technology.

In 2016, the non-profit group found that there is no government transport agency using unmanned aerial vehicles every day, but now three years later, some 36 countries have certified aircraft certifications.

The small unmanned aircraft is often used for earthly missions, such as checking bridges and roads, and with advanced cameras and thermal technology, they can detect small cracks and identify potential holes before they are visible to the human eye.

Despite their importance, drones have caused inconvenience to officials over the years, sometimes disrupting flights or disturbing those who are assigned to solve forest fires.
