@Kfann you need to do some more research buddy. The UAV market has custom LIDAR setups which are accurate and are not as large as traditional aircraft setups.
IMO the main issue with UAV/Drones at the moment is the Regulator (CASA-FAA-CAA) whoever, will only allow for Line of sight operations at this stage. Military are the only ones who do autonomous out of sight flying, civil isn't approved as yet.
UAV/Drones have to be able to fly autonomously back to a location (back to base) when there has been a loss of radio signal or control. This part is easy, the harder part is when they loose signal/control they have to be able to fly back to base unassisted with see and avoid capabilities along the pre planned track.
The UAV sector is the largest growing sector in aviation and as soon as the regulations change they will challenge manned aircraft straight away.
Just my thoughts, DYOR.
