Ngama-drones ezempi sihlanganisa lolu hlobo lobuchwepheshe nokuthile okungekuhle, kepha baneenzuzo eziningi kunalokho okufunwa yimikhosi yamazwe ahlukahlukene. Besivele sazi ngaleso sikhathi ukuthi zingasetshenziswa kanjani ukuletha imishini yosizo lwezokwelapha endaweni ekude, obekuzoba nzima impela, futhi namhlanje sinezinye izindaba ezisikhombisa amandla alobu buchwepheshe.
ULauren Fletcher, owayeyisisebenzi seNASA, unawo umqondo futhi inhloso ebekiwe yokutshala kabusha iplanethi nge Uhlelo lwe-drone olungatshala kuze kufike imbewu engu-36.000 ngosuku. Umqondo omuhle ongasivumela ukuthi sifinyelele ezindaweni ezinamagquma futhi okunzima ukufinyelela kuzo ukufaka imbewu ukuze emashumini ambalwa eminyaka kuvele amahlathi aluhlaza agcwele impilo.
Umqondo wakhe ukusebenzisa ama-drones ukutshala imbewu engama-36.000 ngosuku ezindaweni eziqothuliwe nezingenakufinyeleleka. Inqubo izokwenziwa ngokuzenzakalela ngokugcwele okwandisa kakhulu ijubane imbewu ezotshalwa ngayo ngenkathi kuncishiswa izindleko.
Umgomo uwukuthi tshala izihlahla eziyizigidigidi ezi-1000 ngonyaka. Lesi sibalo singabonakala sokweqisa ekuqaleni, kepha akukude kangako ukuthi sikwazi ukwenza ukuthi kuvele wonke amahlathi ngesikhathi esifushane kakhulu. Zibalelwa ezigidini ezingama-26.000 izihlahla ezilahlekayo unyaka nonyaka ngenxa yomthelela ohlangene wokugawulwa kwemithi nezimayini. Ngenxa yezithombe zesathelayithi ezisetshenziswe esikhathini esiyiminyaka engama-20 ukusuka kwi-American Geophisical Union (AGU), sekuvezwe ukuthi izinga lokucekelwa phansi kwamahlathi asezindaweni ezishisayo lenyuke ngama-62% phakathi kuka-1990 no-2010.
Idrone isebenza ngendlela yokuthi indize phezu kwendawo egawulwe amahlathi futhi Imephu ye-3D yokuhlaziya izindawo ezinhle kakhulu zembewu, Bese unquma ukuthi indiza izokwethula kanjani ama-seed pods usebenzisa umoya ocindezelweyo. Isinyathelo esihle esinethemba lokuthi sizofika maduze futhi singawubona umphumela waso ngokushesha.
