The Rapid Rise of Drones

In today's discussion, we're delving into the transformative world of drones. From their pioneering potential in healthcare, other delivery services, disaster relief and agriculture, to disrupting defence and security, the ways drones are used are revolutionizing several sectors at an incredible rate. Much of the drone technology is not in itself revolutionary. Rather, it's the way this technology is harnessed that's helping to change the world around us. Helen Sharman is joined by Professor Sir Iain Gray. Sir Iain is the director of aerospace at Cranfield University and chairs the Drone Industry Action Group for the UK's Drone Industry Trade Association.
