Ngeedrones zomkhosi sidibanisa olu hlobo lwetekhnoloji nento engalunganga, kodwa banezibonelelo ezingaphezulu kokufunwa yimikhosi yamazwe ahlukeneyo. Besisele sazi ngelo xesha ukuba zingasetyenziselwa njani ukuzisa izixhobo zoncedo lonyango kwindawo ekude, eya kuba nzima, kwaye namhlanje sinezinye iindaba ezisibonisa amandla obu buchwephesha.
U-Lauren Fletcher, owayesakuba ngumsebenzi we-NASA, unoluvo kwaye injongo ebekiweyo yokuhlaziya ihlathi nge Inkqubo yedrone enokuhlwayela ukuya kuthi ga kwi-36.000 yeembewu ngosuku. Uluvo oluhle olunokusivumela ukuba sifikelele kwiindawo ezinamaqhina kwaye kunzima ukufikelela kuzo ukuze sifake imbewu ukuze kumashumi eminyaka amahlathi aluhlaza azele bubomi avele.
Umbono wakhe kukusebenzisa iidrones ukutyala imbewu engama-36.000 ngosuku kwiindawo ezinamahlathi nezingenakufikeleleka. Inkqubo iya kuzenzekelayo ngokupheleleyo eyonyusa kakhulu isantya ezakutyalwa ngayo imbewu ngelixa kuncitshiswa indleko.
Injongo yile tyala imithi eziibhiliyoni ezi-1000 ngonyaka. Eli nani lisenokubonakala libaxekile ekuqaleni, kodwa akukho kude kangako ekubeni nako ukwenza ukuba ukubonakala kwamahlathi onke kube ncinane kakhulu. Kuqikelelwa ukuba ngama-26.000 ezigidi zemithi elahlekileyo minyaka le ngenxa yokudityaniswa kokugawulwa kwemigodi kunye nokombiwa kwemigodi. Enkosi kwimifanekiso yesathelayithi esetyenziswe kwisithuba seminyaka engama-20 ukusuka kwiAmerican Geophisical Union (AGU), kutyhilwe ukuba izinga lokutshatyalaliswa kwamahlathi akweleenjiko lenyuke ngama-62% phakathi kowe-1990 nowama-2010.
Idrone isebenza ngohlobo lokuba ibhabhe kwindawo egawulwe amahlathi kwaye Imephu ye-3D yokuhlalutya ezona ndawo zibalaseleyo zembewu, emva koko umisele indlela yenqwelomoya yokumilisela imidumba yembewu usebenzisa umoya oxineneyo. Inyathelo elikhulu esinethemba lokuba liyafika kwakamsinya kwaye sinokubona isiphumo salo kwangoko.
