What is a drone/UAV?
- It is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard.
- Originated mostly in military applications, although their use is expanding in commercial, scientific, recreational, agricultural, and other applications,[3] such as policing and surveillance, aerial photography, agriculture and drone racing
- Civilian drones now vastly outnumber military drones, with estimates of over a million sold by 2015.
- Read the History of UAVs here.

Virtual fencing?
Geofencing SystemsA geo-fence is a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area.
A geo-fence could be dynamically generated—as in a radius around a store or point location, or a geo-fence can be a predefined set of boundaries, like school attendance zones or neighborhood boundaries.
It has been suggested that government regulators should encourage drone manufacturers to build geofencing constraints into unmanned aerial vehicle navigation systems that would override the commands of the unsophisticated operator, preventing the device from flying into protected airspace.
