Taranis, one of the most advanced drones today, has a top speed of 1,127km/h and a 9.7m wingspan, making it nearly invisible to radar. This is just an example of how far drone technology has evolved in the past years. Commercial drones are no exception to this phenomenon for the better or worse. With the ability to record video or still images in daylight or infrared, UAS operators can conduct surveillance and monitor certain places from afar. Their payload capacity is another feature that can be problematic in the wrong hands. Hobby drones, for instance, have payload capacity between 0.3kg and 2kg. Certain models of professional drones can carry up to 12kg of weight. With such capabilities, more and more criminals and terrorists use drones to carry out illegal activities.
