DUBLIN, Sept. 15, 2015 — (PRNewswire) —

Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2vzcnz/electric_drones) has announced the addition of the "Electric Drones: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) 2015-2025 " report to their offering.

This unique report examines what will be achieved and the enabling technologies that will make it possible. The PhD level analysts have been studying the subject for many years and initially they encompassed much of this analysis in a popular report on electric aircraft of all sorts. However, there is now so much happening in UAVs alone that this report has been prepared to focus on UAVs alone. No other report is as up-to-date and insightful about this subject.
