For drones have developed a technology for rapid battery replacement: how will it help the military

Experts analyzed 262 thousand patents and found out that they would affect the future in the field of drone development. According to Technology Foresights GlobalData, over 170,000 patents related to drones have been issued over the past three years, Airport Technology writes. Experts analyzed a huge database of patents in the total number of 262 thousand documents and found out the main trends in the development of UAVs.

It turns out that the most popular developments in this segment will be innovations associated with rapid replacement and charging of batteries for drones. Against this background, the SZ DJI Technology is especially distinguished, which has stated 100 patent documents in the field of drone battery replacement. The company is actively developing UAVs for use in agriculture, mining, oil and gas and logistics. Its flagship models are DJI Agras T40 and Matrice 300 RTK.

In the second place, patent applications are the world giant Boeing, which is now actively working on EVTol drones. The company has filed 20 applications for fast replacement patents over the last few years. Fast replacement systems and fast charging are critical for modern UAVs that are actively used by the military. Developments in this industry will help to quickly return drones with discharged batteries, maximizing the time of operation of drones and significantly reducing the cost of service.
