How drone is applies in areas of finance, transport, agriculture,

business, health, education, entertainment, Telecom and other in

context of Ethiopia

Agriculture:In supporting precision farming, drones can do soil health scans, monitor crop health, assist in
planning irrigation schedules, apply fertilizers, estimate.Drone in the forestry sector in Ethiopia is believed
to be a supplementary method to the existing methods of spatial data capture for filling the gap of
information and improving the quality of forest information that is needed to comply with international
standards.
Telecom:The key application areas in telecoms are maintenance monitoring, asset management and
network planning/implementation.Ethiopia introduced 5G is anticipated to be a major catalyst for
expanded and richer UAV/drone use cases.Drones are able to inspect installed equipment at the top of
towers or over large areas with greater speed – lowering costs and reducing the risks to staff.
Finance:A big part of an auditor’s job is data collection and evaluation, which can be very manual. Drones
can get to hard to reach places and capture huge volumes of data in very short periods of time, which
compared with manual methods – for example, going out to a construction site in a different country
 In transportation
 Ethiopia use UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) to deliver medical equipment and supplies
to remote areas of Ethiopia. This would help to distribute medicine and blood supplies
to areas where access to the road is hard and expensive.
 In health
 Avion is an Ethiopian technology solutions company that develops and implements
drone-based medical supply deliveries to remote areas in Ethiopia that are inaccessible
through conventional methods. The drones deliver medicine, vaccines, and other crucial
medical supplies to these areas.
 In education
 Drone help students to learn programming through applications and software
programs . students who undergo the programming program using drones improved in
terms of sequencing skills and spatial visualization.
 In entertainment
 nowadays drone makes easy to have aerial photo/video footage; whereas aerial drone
footages are high quality with low cost.
 since filmmakers, video producers and TV station activities are enhanced by the use of
commercial drones; so it can be concluded that commercial drone operation is enhanced
the entertainment industry in Addis Ababa.
The live streaming video of Great Ethiopian Run 2019 via Fana Television, showed us the
beautiful aerial view of Addis Ababa, the diplomatic capital of Africa.
In business
 The unregulated business of drone technology has blossomed in Ethiopia,
particularly in the capital. Drones, unmanned aerial vehicle systems, with
mounted cameras, have become popular features of film, video, photography
and television productions; recording of public events, rallies and private events
like weddings; documenting landscapes and cityscapes.
Based on the Ethics and Professionalism chapter, give examples or mention
scenarios for possible ethical and security issues that can arise while using or
developing drone.
 Commercial drone operation is creating a threat to sensitive facilities like the
national palace and government security facilities by flying over it since in Addis
Ababa, drones are flying over where ever they need and there no rules and
regulations to manage it.
 INSA assures commercial drones are a threat to the critical infrastructures,
government security, and sensitive facilities.
 There is accidents happened to public & and private property and individuals in
Addis Ababa due to commercial drone operation;rarely drones fall over events
like concerts where large groups of people gathered but the damage is not
viable.
 So there are viable threats posed by drone operations in Addis Ababa due to
commercial drone operation.
