With the anticipated growth in drone usage, Ground Control wanted to find out if people felt more or less comfortable about commercial vs military applications, and whether the benefits outweighed their reservations. The company surveyed 500+ American adults, and compiled the results in an eBook.

Two surveys from 2021 which engaged European audiences suggested there could be a broadly positive response. These surveys indicate that 68% of British citizens believe that drones will positively impact their lives, and 83% of EU-based respondents are positive about the use of drones in cities.
Ground Control’s survey was more nuanced. Overall, 55% of respondents supported commercial drone applications, and 57% supported military drone applications. This is a more conversative response than previous studies, but what was particularly interesting was how much variation there was in the results. People in different household income, age, and industry groups held, in some cases, quite dramatically different views.
Statistics highlighted include:
- 55% supported commercial drone applications
- 57% supported military drone applications
- 65% had concerns about drone hacking/interception and cybersecurity
- 32% felt that drones were environmentally friendly
Ground Control covers:
- Which demographics are most likely to support military applications?
- Who is most likely to support commercial applications?
- What concerns do Americans have about drone usage?
- What benefits do Americans perceive can be derived from drone usage?
