[0002] A drone, or unmanned aerial vehicle, is an aircraft that does not require direct human control and is typically controlled by a ground control station via wireless signals. Drones can be used for a variety of purposes, including aerial photography, surveying and mapping, precision agriculture, search and rescue, and logistics. The design and functions of drones vary depending on their purpose and technical specifications. A drone protective structure refers to a design structure used to protect drones from damage during flight, transportation, or landing.
