Intel®: Breaking New Ground
in the Drone Industry
Drones are driving the next frontier of flight and are being applied to
existing problems to provide new solutions across myriad industries,
from construction to aircraft inspection. Intel is in the forefront of helping
companies do amazing things, thanks to innovative drone technology.
With Intel's sensors, computing, and communication technologies, drones
are becoming much more versatile and ubiquitous, providing both
entertainment and value where previously not considered.
One of the most exciting ways Intel has led innovation in the drone market is by developing an entirely new form
of entertainment with drone-powered light shows. The Intel Shooting Star™ Drone was custom-built specifically for
entertainment purposes (Figure 1). It features built-in LED lights that can create over 4 billion color combinations and
is easily programmed for any animation. As shown on the cover and in the logo display in Figure 2, these drone light
shows paint captivating and dynamic pictures in the night sky and have dazzled audiences from the Pepsi Zero Sugar
Super Bowl LI halftime show to the Coachella Music Festival.
When we're not busy entertaining audiences around the globe, the drone team and I have been pursuing
commercial applications for unmanned aircraft systems (UAS). Several industries such as construction, agriculture,
utility inspection, and oil& gas are realizing the benefits of incorporating drones into the work. Using drones as a
