The global military drone market is growing rapidly and as New Zealand looks to the future of its defense force we must ask ourselves if we see drone technology there. Public perception of UAVs is often negative and associated with issues like the war on terror and armed drone strikes. However, drones also have many meaningful uses, including search and rescue, maritime surveillance, humanitarian assistance and communications support.

Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

 The DCP 2019 states it will be looking at drones to supplement the P-8A's and other surveillance aircraft.  NZ EEZ and SAR areas are huge, and drones will help supplement any search as a cheaper option once up and running that a full flight P-8A.

They still have a human element involved with it's operation. They have longer loiter time and you can change pilots mid-flight. It also means, if in the time of conflict and drone is shot down there is no loss of life.
