Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming more common among business users and enthusiasts. The integration of technology is having a huge impact on globalization. There is a growing need for forensic examination of these devices due to the popularity of drones and their potential use for criminal activity. One notable example of a technical innovation is drone technology. The usage of drones in various fields, such as military, medical, and agriculture, has increased dramatically. Drones in agriculture give farmers access to real-time data, enabling them to make educated decisions about how best to use farm inputs. Drones are also significant to the healthcare industry because they allow flying vital medical supplies—like blood, vaccines, medications, and lab samples—to remote places in impoverished countries during medical severe situations. Drones monitor enemy movements and enable targeted attacks, which improve security and surveillance operations in the military. Drones have many advantages, but it's essential to recognize that they also have risks.
Top1. Introduction
Drone technology has several benefits and offers a wide range of opportunities in many different fields. Drones provide essential assistance in various tasks, including catastrophe risk reduction, transportation services, surveying, and humanitarian work. Drones are instrumental in the agriculture industry because they can deliver real-time footage and sensor data from farm fields that would be difficult to access by foot or with traditional vehicles quickly. The availability of programmable software for smartphones and tablets, along with the integration of GPS technology, has dramatically improved flight lengths, dependability, and user-friendliness. These developments have also made it easier to optimize cameras and other sensors needed for the efficient use of drones in natural resource management and agriculture. Drone use is now so widespread that it has ingrained itself firmly into the basic structure of both developed and emerging economies in various industries. If control over this technology were to be lost, the repercussions might be severe. Figure 1 Overview of chapter title.

Drones are being used for various purposes in the medical field. These include but are not limited to performing assessments in disaster-affected areas where traditional access is severely restricted, transporting aid packages, medications, vaccines, blood, and other medical supplies to remote regions, making sure that disease test samples and kits are transported securely in high-contagion areas, and having the capacity to promptly deploy automated external defibrillators to patients experiencing cardiac arrest, thus saving lives during medical emergencies. Drones have demonstrated their ability to transport laboratory samples, vaccines, personal protective equipment (PPE), test kits, and pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drones can also help with pandemic management by enabling automated inspections to verify adherence to social distancing protocols in public areas. Drones' shift from being used in military applications to being integrated into civilian settings has created regulatory issues that need to be resolved to realize the full potential of this technology. Numerous research works have highlighted the necessity of clearly defined legislative frameworks that guarantee the realization of drones' full potential while also protecting citizens' rights to privacy and safety. Concerns from the public regarding the improper use of drones, such as their possible connection to terrorist attacks, privacy violations, and military uses, highlight the significance.
Top2. Literature Review
Eight carefully reviewed articles are included in the compilation, all of which are centered around three main themes: the development of cutting-edge tools for characterizing water bodies, the advancement of satellite-based technologies for determining crop water requirements to maximize irrigation efficiency, and the use of proximal and remote sensing techniques for close monitoring of crop water status. covers in detail the state-of-the-art optimization techniques used in drone-truck combined operations (DTCO) and civil drone operations (DO) in a variety of industries, including media and entertainment, transportation/logistics, agriculture, construction/infrastructure, security, and disaster management. This work critically evaluates the current research efforts involving a wide range of optimization problems about DO and DTCO.
