Mining Exploration in Space

It seems inevitable that in the future unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which has been known in the military sector, will become standard tools in the commercial field.

Research in the field of UAV technology has been increasing since the late 1980s. Initially the application of this technology is for the military, which is in use as a reconnaissance machine or a spy. With no pilot in combat missions this tool is a good option used by the military for reconnaissance. Indirectly by the existence of this technology then the world there is a progress in the case, the efficiency of the technology and the size of the range, though most developments currently only exist outside the commercial sector.

The main use of the aircraft in the mining industry is to explore: to map the far-field lines and to look for potential mineral deposits. This makes the use of UAVs suitable for use in areas especially mining operations crew did not use passenger / pilot so it is very safe because the controls are on land control UAVs. The other advantage is not limited by hours of flying time so it can fly at night, without the cost of maintenance and staff from helicopters and light aircraft and UAVs are cheaper to mobilize, set up, relocation and refuel.
One mining company that has been successfully using UAV technology for exploration and mapping operations.

UAV aircraft are best suited for this task is capable of flying at altitudes up to 30,000 feet (9,000 m) over a range of 200km. To carry out geological surveys, the most frequently UAV is equipped with on-board magnetometer, an instrument that measures variations in the magnetic field caused by ground minerals such as iron. In Australia, known as a Tandem Wing UAV RPV has been successfully used to implement geo-mission aerial surveys over the long channel open using magnetometers dessert.

Another UAV used for geophysical surveys are GeoRanger built by Insitu and used by Fugro, geotechnical survey and geosciences company to interpret the data related to the earth's surface.

UAVs can also be used for high-resolution topographic mapping using light detection and ranging, which uses an optical remote sensing technology to measure the properties of scattered light to find range and / or other information to produce highly accurate terrain models

So far, the biggest obstacle is the lack of guidance for UAV regulations and standards required to allow UAVs to operate in civil airspace
