The availability of commercial UAVs – unmanned aircraft vehicles or drones – is rising exponentially. Drones are no longer purely military equipment but consumer goods that can be purchased on internet without extensive funding or effort.

With 20% annual growth it is one of the fastest growing market today. Drone manufacturers such as Chinese DJI or American 3D Robotics are developing several new and more advanced quadcopters each year.

Legal systems all across the world are unable to keep pace with the technological advancement of this industry. Regulatory institutions are rigid or completely absent, allowing everyone to purchase a drone without demonstrating sufficient operating skills or revealing the future purpose of the UAV. Without the obligation to register the drone at the purchase, it is impossible to control potential misuses.
