Drones, or remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS), provide an agile and relatively cheap way to get clever technology into the air and to where we need it quickly.

Imagine the commercial pilot who encounters an unknown object in their flight path as they are descending over the city towards the Adelaide Airport.
