The utilization and value of drones are increasing throughout society. However, there was a lack of government support and investment such as lack of technology of domestic drone companies, regulation of loans and lack of technology evaluation items. Therefore, this paper conducts statistical analysis to derive what drone capacity should be strengthened for the drone industry activation in Daegu. As a result, the demand satisfaction(price, quality, service) of drones leads to revitalization of drone industry when the physical, social, and policy factors among drones are strengthened. In conclusion, drone capacity to be strengthened in order to revitalize the drone industry in Korea is based on physical factors(drone demand, development, number of registrations, number of businesses and workers), social factors(national level public relations, establishment of public education institutes, correct understanding of drone occupation, preception), policy factors(privacy measures, government funding, legislation and system easing). As for the three factors, the government, industry, and drone operators are expected to have a bright future when the trinity is improved and complemented.

As interest in drones controlled by remote technology rapidly increases worldwide, drones are used in many fields such as military, rescue, and transportation as future innovations in many countries. In particular, as the drone has been spotlighted as a new future strategic industry, it is also used for public purposes such as disaster relief and crime investigation. However, security concerns such as the penetration of major national facilities, collisions with aircraft, and the possibility of privacy infringement due to aerial photography are also being raised. Unlike the increased interest in drones, there have been few studies on drone use, drone safety, and public attitudes toward drone use. This paper analyzed the perceptions of drone attitudes, drone stability and policy support for drones for Korean and United Kingdom.

The absolute dependence on GPS signals for positioning, unstable flight, and short flight time due to battery limitations are the major problems to extend the practical use of drones in the industry. In particular, the short flight time of about 20 minutes is a big issue to the use of drones, and to overcome this, the liquid hydrogen powered drone is being actively developed. However, the revision of the current regulation and certification system for liquid hydrogen powered drone has not been completed yet, making it difficult to test, certify, and commercialize the hydrogen powered drone, which eventually becomes a problem in pre-occupying the increasing drone market. In this paper, we analyze the development trends of hydrogen powered drone and provide the current issues on regulations and certification systems for hydrogen powered drone.

The main subject of year 2016 Davos forum was "The 4th Industrial Revolution." Recently, interests and investment in drone market, so called industrial revolution in the sky is growing in many countries around the world. Before, drone was used for military purpose such as reconnaissance or attacking but today, it is used in various private sectors such as unmanned delivery service, agriculture, leisure activities, etc. Presently, many major countries in the world are already involved in the 'war without gunfire' to be dominant in this drone industry. Korean government also has announced an extreme relaxation of regulations for growing drone industry by opening a conference with Ministers related to economics. During the conference, business scope of drone which was limited to agriculture, photographing, and observation was expanded to all the fields except for cases hindering national safety and security. In terms of shooting purpose drone its process of receiving approval for flight and shooting is simplified to online registration. What is more, drone delivery service will be allowed in island areas such as Goheung, Yeongwol, etc from first term of year 2017. Finding the way to apply drone in criminal investigation is also speeding up. Recently, Public Safety Policy Research Center in Korean National Police University has inquired for research service and its result will be out around November. Likewise, although more and stronger foundation for supporting drone industry is made but there are still, some opinions saying that we should take a careful approach in consideration to the side effect such as abuse in crime. One may also try terror by placing a dangerous substance. If drone falls, it may hurt any civilians. Moreover, if shopping purpose drone is hacked, it may result in violation of privacy. Compared to America, Europe, and China, we are at the very beginning stage of drone industry and it is necessary to reorganize legal issues to grow this industry. This can be thought from two perspectives; first, the growth of drone industry is blocked by difficult regulations on Aviation Law and Radio Regulation Law. The second issue is the safety and privacy that are required for operating drone. For the advanced technologies to make human life more profitable, more active and proactive actions are required by criminal law side. In preparation to the second mechanical era where man and machines should go together, I hope that responsible preparation is required in all fields including the criminal law.
