Global and U.S. Drones with Thermal Cameras Market Report, Published by QY Research.

Drones with Thermal Cameras are unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped with infrared imaging sensors capable of detecting temperature variations across surfaces and environments. These drones capture heat signatures invisible to the human eye, enabling applications in inspection, surveillance, search and rescue, agriculture, and firefighting. Thermal camera drones integrate visible-light and infrared sensors, GPS, AI-based analytics, and real-time data transmission to deliver detailed thermal imagery and temperature mapping for industrial and public safety operations.
