Anybody who follows MCU would immediately connect Thanos with the Marvel Comic Universe super-villian character with the same name. Some of us at Thanos Technologies are fans too. I’m sure there are plenty of fans for Marvel Comic Universe (MCU) – the Comics and the Motion Picture series. Henceforth, we shall use the word ‘Drone’ for all purposes when referring to these flying machines. This is mainly owing to the complexity of the acronyms such as UAV, UAS, sUAS. As the technology gains prominence the world over, the word ‘Drone’ seems to have been the more caught up term among media and Tech circles. It was in the wake of this understanding of the huge potential of this technology that Thanos Technologies was started. But with the continuous drop in battery costs and other electronic components (thanks to the growth in usage of consumer electronics), Drones are now gaining prominence in various domains for their immense potential. These machines were previously mostly in R&D labs and in hobby circles. Since 2012 though, a new category of small UAVs or Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) emerged with the launch of camera drones. It also has the common language meaning of a ‘male bee’ or a ‘continuous harmonic sound’ and other such references. The word ‘Drone’ has been used until now mostly in the military context where it refers to an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) that is capable of conducting high-altitude surveillance or even carry out air-strikes.
