Drones are now being tested in South Wales for the purpose of search and rescue. UAVs are best in providing the birds eye view and offer vital data that could help in search and rescue. but Phil Hanson, Aviation Technical Assurance manager at MCA, says Its still too early to comment on how we will move forward from the trials and that Drones still cannot replace helicopters, coastguard rescue teams or lifeboats.
In this case they have to make a total makeover on the specifications of drones, it must be totally different from the drones we have right now in use everywhere. There mus be a total upgrade so it can give best benefits to its user and be able to fulfil what is being promised in deep Aeros whitepaper.
