Context: Recently, various companies such as HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, and Tata AIG and public sector companies such as New India Assurance have launched its unmanned aircraft system insurance.

About Drone or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle:

• An unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without any human pilot, crew or passengers on board.
• UAVs are a component of an unmanned aircraft system, which include additionally a ground-based controller and a system of communications with the UAV.
• Drones have been divided into five categories based on their weight (existing rules)-Nano : Less than or equal to 250 grams, Micro : From 250 grams to 2kg, Small : From 2 kg to 25kg, Medium : From 25kg to 150kg, Large : Greater than 150kg.

Drone market in India:

• India’s potential: Drones and allied component industries can boost India’s manufacturing potential by approximately $23 billion by 2030.
• Market size: India’s drone manufacturing industry crossed annual sales of Rs 60 crore in FY 2021 and is expected to grow to Rs 900 crore by FY 2024.

Highlights of the drone insurance policy:

• Regulation: Insurance players are now offering drone coverage within the framework set by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).
• Participants: It will cover large aircraft to solo flying gliders and also, it will be offered to drone owners, operators, and manufacturers.
• Third-party liability coverage: It will cover legal liabilities like bodily damage or property damage claims to third parties arising out of the usage and operation of drones.
• Policy coverage: The policy covers physical damage to the aircraft and its theft.
• It also provides cover for accidental physical injury to the third party and/or damage to their property due to the aircraft’s operations.
  • It is designed to cover fixed wing, rotor wing and hybrid UAS that can be controlled remotely (with pilot intervention) or autonomous drones (without pilot intervention).
  • These aircraft are generally deployed for military and non-military applications, including surveillance, geography and infrastructure inspections and aerial photography.
  • It will provide coverage for the replacement or repair, accidental loss of or damage to the UAS arising from the risks covered, including disappearance if the UAS is unreported after the commencement of Flight.

Regulations in the sector:

• Flying drones has been legalised in India since 2018. However, individuals need to take prior permission from civil aviation regulator DGCA to fly these remote-piloted aircraft.
• Nano drones, weighing less than 250 grams, have a permit exemption, subject to the condition they are flown at an altitude below 50 feet.
• The Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) initially offered coverage to drones within a visual line of sight (VLOS) and during the day.
• Later on the DGCA changed the guidelines to offer coverage beyond VLOS.
• DGCA mandates third-party liability insurance for all drone operators.
• Except in the nano category and micro category only for non-commercial use, all drone activities must be done only after receiving prior approval from the Digital Sky online platform for a flight or series of flights.
• Globally regulation: drones are classified as aircraft and aviation regulators have already stepped in to regulate the sector.
• The Government of India has brought in policies (Drone Policy 1.0 in 2018 and Drone Policy 2.0 in 2019) which made the DGCA to come out with Regulations Civil Aviation Regulation CAR 1.0 in 2018 and Draft Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Systems, 2020.

Application Areas of Drones:

• Aerial Photography: Drones are now being used to capture footage that would otherwise require expensive helicopters and cranes.
• Shipping And Delivery: Major companies like Amazon, UPS, and DHL are in favour of drone delivery.
  • Drones could save a lot of manpower and shift unnecessary road traffic to the sky. Recently Vaccines were delivered through drones.
• Search And Rescue: Presence of thermal sensors gives drones night vision and makes them a powerful tool for surveillance.
  • Drones are able to discover the location of lost persons and unfortunate victims, especially in harsh conditions or challenging terrains.
• Weather Forecast: Drones are being developed to monitor dangerous and unpredictable weather.
  • Since they are cheap and unmanned, drones can be sent into hurricanes and tornadoes, so that scientists and weather forecasters acquire new insights into their behavior and trajectory.
• Disaster Management: Drones provide quick means, after a natural or man-made disaster, to gather information and navigate debris and rubble to look for injured victims.
  • Its high definition cameras, sensors, radars and small size give rescue teams access to a higher field of view
• Precision Agriculture: The infrared sensors in drones can be tuned to detect crop health, enabling farmers to react and improve crop conditions locally, with inputs of fertilizer or insecticides.
• Geographic Mapping: Available to amateurs and professionals, drones can acquire very high-resolution data and download imagery in difficult to reach locations like coastlines, mountaintops, and islands.
• Law Enforcement: Drones are also used for maintaining the law. They help with the surveillance of large crowds and ensure public safety.

Risks associated with drone’s technology:

• The expected rise in the use of drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for a host of different applications may leave operators exposed to a whole new set of risks, including third-party damage or injury and liability.
• One of the biggest risks, it said, was from radio frequency interference, resulting in loss of control, and, in the worst cases, fatalities.
• With the ability to collect massive amounts of unsolicited data, UAVs present an enormous threat to individual privacy and a significant challenge for insurance carriers,
• The issue is the application of these vehicles in urban areas where the risk of damage to properties and individuals is much greater than it would be in rural parts.
• Use of drones by terrorists causes a disproportionate psychological effect on people as well as on security personnel.
  • Example recent attack on India’s air force station in Jammu.

Way Forward:

In order to achieve Atmanirbharta in the manufacturing sector there is a need for innovative and competitive manufacturing capabilities and a strong action plan to help India become a global hub for drone manufacturing by 2030. Need of the hour is to generate a strong demand, increasing manufacturing, drawing investments and facilitating exports. The government is carving out drone corridors to facilitate delivery of cargo deliveries.

• Mains – Science and Technology

Context:

• In early 2021, a team of Israeli scientists announced The Ramanujan Machine
• It is a software tool that creates mathematical conjectures i.e. equations without proof. Mathematicians then prove or disprove these conjectures, thereby establishing theorems.
• Conjectures in mathematics shed light on newer frontiers that otherwise lurk in tenebrous corners.
• Srinivasa Ramanujan was famous for such conjectures.

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920):

• Born in Erode, Tamil Nadu and died in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu.
• In 1911 Ramanujan published the first of his papers in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society.
• In 1913 he began a correspondence with the British mathematician Godfrey H. Hardy which led to a special scholarship from the University of Madras and a grant from Trinity College, Cambridge.
• In 1918 he was elected to the Royal Society of London.
• First Indian to be elected a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge University.

Contributions to Mathematics:

• Conjectures – From 1904 till his passing in 1920, Ramanujan, recorded more than 3,000 equations that were mostly conjectures because he did not supply proof.
• Most of Ramanujan’s conjectures are correct as established by the proofs provided pari passu with their generalisation in the last 100 years.
• Game Theory: He discovered a long list of new ideas to solve many challenging mathematical problems, which gave a significant impetus to the development of game theory. His contribution to game theory is purely based on intuition and natural talent and remains unrivalled to this day.
• Ramanujan’s Book: One of Ramanujan’s notebooks was discovered by George Andrews in 1976 in the library at Trinity College.
• Hypergeometric series, the Riemann series, the elliptic integrals, mock theta function, the theory of divergent series, and the functional equations of the zeta function
• Formulas and Equations: Ramanujan compiled around 3,900 results consisting of equations and identities. One of his most treasured findings was his infinite series for Pi.

Applications of Ramanujan’s work:

• Artificial Intelligence(AI)– AI makes things happen faster because they imitate cogitation.

• Due to findings of infinite series like fundamental constants of Pi – the artificial intelligence machines can lead to more frequent mathematical advancements.

• “Invincible originality” – Ramanujan could connect different mathematical domains deeply, leading to remarkable technological applications.
• Encryption – He developed certain equations called class invariants which generate elliptic curves suitable for encryption and this led to Elliptic Curve Cryptography

• It is an efficient cryptographic technique, in 1985 to make computer network communications secure.

• Discovery of mock-theta functions–  Ramanujan might have discovered it by starting from hypergeometric series whose consecutive terms form ratios that follow a pattern.

AI- enabled technologies:

• Latest advancements in AI technology have attempted to “create”, mimicking human intelligence, such as:-
• ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a software tool that can answer questions on almost any topic, carry on conversations with humans, write poems, computer programs and perform many more complex tasks that require intelligence.
• Google’s LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) that is similar to ChatGPT and other sophisticated products (Dall E) that can create image from verbal descriptions.
• Industrial Metaverse – Digitalizing processes of frontline workers, estimated to make up about 80% of the global workforce, have just started and there is enormous potential in the same.
• Augmented Reality/Mixed Reality – By linking these devices to data and workflows, industrial enterprises can create a new platform built around the needs of shopfloor workers.

Indian initiatives on AI:

• National Task force on Artificial Intelligence 2017 launched to explore possibilities to leverage AI for development across various fields.
• NITI Aayog’s  ‘National strategy for Artificial Intelligence’ identifies five core areas for application of artificial intelligence
• The PM-STIAC’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) mission 2018 focuses on efforts that will benefit India in addressing societal needs in areas such as healthcare, education, agriculture, smart cities and infrastructure, including smart mobility and transportation, academia-industry interactions on developing core research capability – creation of new knowledge and in developing and deploying applications.
• Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence (CoE in AI) has been established by National Informatics Centre (NIC) in 2019.

Way forward:

• AI is playing an integral role in transforming the way businesses have been conducting operations across numerous industries.
• The pandemic and remote working models have pushed companies to embrace using remote experts to create genuinely seamless end-to-end customer experiences, as 80 per cent are deskless workers.
• #AIforAll will aim at enhancing and empowering human capabilities to address the challenges of access, affordability, shortage and inconsistency of skilled expertise and technology leadership for achieving the greater good.
