Henceforth is clear and obvious that, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for urban applications is on exciting curve.


VTOL UAVs can now take-off and land without a runway; suitable for operations in urban areas. 
 
The ability of these UAVs to aid in surveying, scanning, aerial photography, 3D mapping, oil and gas pipeline monitoring, wind turbine blade inspection, and real estate propels the market.

VTOL UAVs have now the ability to carry out various intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and spy missions.

Drones are now equipped with navigation systems, smart sensors, and GPS; and these drones are used to inter alia: disarm bombs, provide situation reports to troops, aid in combat, and help in search and rescue operations. 

Some of the key vendors for the defense market include BAE, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin, for the global DEW market; AeroVironment, Israel Aerospace, and Northrop Grumman for the global VTOL UAVs market; Boston Dynamics, General Dynamics, and Thales Group for the global military robots market, according to Technavio.
