UAVs: Set to fly high?

UAVs are set to fly high.

That can be said if we go by the buzz

At recently concluded Intergeo 2014 in Berlin, Germany.

Presence of several UAV technology providers

Not only added to the excitement of prospective users

But also indicated the promising potential.

However, will the lead taken by some of the market players,

Get the effective backing of the policy makers,

Is yet to be seen.

Policies which as of now appear to be

More restrictive than facilitative

Need to evolve with technological developments

And be more responsive to the user needs.
