• Aerial photography and video recording—They will take interesting pictures and
capture high-quality images from the air with a drone fitted with an HD screen.
• Surveying and geographical information system (mapping)—Drones can create
high-quality 3D maps utilizing multi-spectral cameras and laser scanners. Ultimately, implementations are identified in several fields including distance sensing,
surveying, and mapping, photogrammetry, farming in precision, and other sectors.
• Unmanned cargo system—Drones sometimes carry lightweight boxes and
bunches of all sizes, thus they are able to transport goods easily, eco-friendly,
and rapidly by sea.
The key specifications performances are (1) weight, (2) range and endurance, and
(3) high altitude
1.2.3 Benefits of UAVs
Drones are able to explore wherever people cannot safely go. They can provide
improvement of protection, cost reduction, speed of procedures, quicker data access
when there are unknown things occurring, and in the case of access problems [9].
UAVs may usually be managed without a large security network by one person,
which significantly reduces the associated costs. UAVs are easy to deploy and reduce
downtime compared to conventional approaches. Instead of booting ships, the use of
UAVs can minimize vessel activities and ship management costs by up to 90 percent.
It can cut costs for many issues like energy expenses, operating costs, and salaries.
Drones can be deployed to locations that are large and hazardous to track terrorism,
trafficking, and other illegal activities in emergencies. Before this, a high-risk role
belonged to a crew member, a drone can now travel to the inspection center and this
does not only minimize the risk, but it is also easier with high-definition imagery
and camera input to the control center [10]. There are several ships that have been
re-supplied onshore, since after drones have been developed, various jobs become
easier as much easier as the definition of this role. By using UAVs, operating costs are
more effective than using patrol ships in terms of manpower and maintenance costs.
Besides, it saves time and speeds up operational surveys. Besides that, it makes also
access during critical situations easier, which are difficult to be accessed by humans.
1.2.4 Challenges/Risks of UAVs
There are many and varied issues that need to be tackled concerning the harmonization of drone use requirements [11]. The use of surveillance drones raises many
questions not only from the general perspective of international and human rights
laws but also from a moral point of view, such as the psychological effects on local
populations, or the risk of collateral damage, which may be caused by a constant
