                 UAV flight simulation in domestic/civil sectors

Firefighters, police, miners, and weather researchers are now using drones, which were first used as military sectors. The drones used for police and firefighters are the same type of drones, however, they are used for different purposes. In mining and weather, differing drones are used to help predict weather, photograph storms and measure temperature. For mining, the drones help miners with inspection and maintenance, to carrying heavy equipment, even carrying out tasks 24/7. Drones and UAVs have gone beyond the human capacity as far as taking up heaving loads, daring photography amidst a heavy storm and digitizing images that can be converted into 3D maps.

For the police, the drones are used for bomb detonation, response to incidents, pursuing criminals in the air, and can locate a suspect’s location using high tech camera systems (Viking 400-S)[1]. Other uses for drones in police sectors are to videotape incidents, create maps of the incidents in 3D models, and then later send them to officers’ smart phones (Sensefly eBee) [1]. Other drones, such as the Kaman drop supplies and equipment for officers, as well as transport officers to and back from the crime scene. The E300 actually is used to stop criminals and videotape an incident. [1] 

For firefighters, the firefighters use the same drones, but for different purposes. For example, ELIMCO’s E300 is used to put out fires, the Viking 400-S uses a camera to photograph incidents, then later transmits the images back to firefighting personnel for mapping the incidents electronically [2]. The Information Processing Systems’ MCV, like the E300 is used for putting out wildfires and man-made fires [2]. The eBee, like its police variant takes photographs with a 16 MP camera, which is used to create 3D models of maps through integrating technology from Google Maps. It is later sent to firefighting personnel smart phones. The Kaman, like its police variant, is used to supply firefighters, victims of fires, and medical assistance [2]. Other emergency response drones include the NASA Global Hawk, which calculates a storm’s wind speed, pressure and temperature of air. The Defikopter sends defibrillators to victims of heart attack. To locate a victim, it uses a GPS system. [3] Other professions in the civil sector in which drones are utilized are weather and mining. Mining uses two main drone technologies: Responder and Serenity. [4] Both of these drones are UAVs and assist mining crews on tasks, such as maintenance, inspection, and imagery, as Responder uses. [4] On the other hand, Serenity can carry heavy packages, and can fulfill 24/7 mining operations, assisting crew. Some drones within the mining industry assist workers with photography of the sediments to be mined so it can be calculated in terms of volume for removal and the stockpile of sediment graded by workers [5] . For weather, drones are very essential for weather crew in predicting wind speed and temperature, wind direction, air temperature and pressure (Aerosonde Mark 4) [4]. Other drones are used for actually taking images of storm systems, even inside the storm itself. (6)Like the Mark 4, the Global Hawk is used to measure air temperature, wind speed, pressure, but unlike the Mark 4, it can take images of the storm system. [6] [3]
