Abstract

Due to their versatility, which is a result of technological advancements, and their capacity to carry out various civilian tasks safely and effectively, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized applied sciences and engineering. However, UAV technological advancements in applied sciences and engineering have not been fully leveraged. This paper highlights UAV technology in the realm of applied sciences and engineering. The review covers the historical advancement, classification, benefits, and drawbacks of UAV technology applied to science and engineering. The paper begins with a summary of the advancements, then moves on to a recent historical development and an explanation of the UAV categorization criteria. The review then discusses UAV technology's advantages and drawbacks in applied science and engineering. After WWII, UAVs became increasingly versatile and advanced. Their categories follow numerous criteria. UAVs have numerous applications in applied science and engineering. Regulations stimulate UAV innovation and applications while altering them. The paper concludes by offering a comprehensive overview of UAV technology and its uses in applied sciences and engineering. Future UAV applications are likely to be much more creative and significant as the technology develops and advances.
