UAS (drone) in Response to Coronavirus

This paper presents the result of an investigation how Unmanned Aviation Systems were applied in the first half of 2020 in response to the coronavirus COVID-19 challenges. The application cases collected and referenced in this paper are pandemic specific only even though many of them may be considered as typical. An important discovery was that the majority of limitations preventing the high spread of UAS applications are not technological. Nevertheless, innovative technologies, application cases and services that have originated during the pandemic period are expected to evolve and adapt to other situations and shape the future markets
