The modern economy completely changed by offering to industry groups the capability to reorganize their operating processes. Nowadays we become observers of similar in scale revolutionary transformations: technologies for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles substantially modified business models and new operating conditions have been developed in various sectors from industries, agriculture to the emergency, parcel delivery or movie industry. In the very near future, clients’ enterprises from multiple sectors of the economy will recognize the first effect of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in diverse fields - from commercial sectors to examining and exploring the environment or to reduce the impacts of unexpected disasters. The aim of the present review paper is to analyse the opportunities and advantages of using the application of UAVs technologies. On the other hand, not only the devices (drones) themselves are of importance, but also their wider utilization to acquire extraordinary volumes of data.
