How to use drone in a sentence?

1. John Kasich:

   I don't believe the drone program ought to be run out of the The CIA, the CIA is The CIA. The CIA, the drone program, should be operated exclusively out of the Pentagon.

2. James Peaco III:

   When the detection equipment finds the drone and identifies the operator's location, we can very rapidly get that information to a ground intercept team who can then go make contact with that drone operator and essentially get them to stop flying that drone.

3. Arnau Garcia:

   Right now natural parks have two big problems, the first one of them is to detect rhinos and non-authorized people in the area. That has been done with helicopters and planes up until now, but that is very expensive. In addition, you cannot see people who hide under trees from a plane. We solve this with thermal cameras. We use a drone that carries that kind of camera and looks over that area or those places suspected of having this kind of problem and it detects hot points. Like we see here. This shows people. Every pixel has a different color depending on how hot it is. This is placed on the drone, that takes a picture and reports directly to the ranger.

4. Mihir Garimella:

   The idea is that you take( my) drone, plug in different sensors based on whatever task you're trying to accomplish, and the drone would use those sensors to carry out a mission, so in a search and rescue situation after an earthquake, you could plug in a thermal camera and the drone would use that to find people who are trapped. {.

5. Priscilla Moreland:

   Doesn’t the Air Force think that with the proper training I or my peers couldn’t excel as drone pilots? right now, the minimum height-limit starts at 5’4?. My daughter is 5’2?. What difference does it make what height you are when you are flying a drone? You are not actually sitting in an airplane.
