The drones have been used primarily for military purposes. Being lightweight and have the ability to remotely control becomes the army now quite commonly used.
Fortunately, a humanitarian group called ideate has plans to use these devices for purposes obviously humanitarian, such as saving lives and sending supplies to places where a person can not easily reach.
Disaster, one of the main problems can be accessibility. Rescuers sometimes find themselves in situations where you can not help them because the victims are in inaccessible areas.
That's when the drones can take action. Ideate aims to help people who are on the scene of a disaster based on GPS tracking. If a person makes a call or sends a text message from an affected area, the drone is able to detect the GPS signal can be used to send food, medicine or whatever it takes.
Ideate recently been doing some successful tests with a drone and the same were made in a desert, indicating that even in adverse climates can be useful.
