Application of drones in international and Cuban agriculture.

Abstract
The introduction of different technologies such as Geographic Information Systems, images obtained from satellites, airplanes, drones, various types of sensors as well as computer systems and tools have caused a revolution in Agriculture. The use of these technologies has always had the interest of using available resources effectively and efficiently, as well as humanizing agricultural work. This article reviews the benefits obtained with the use of drones internationally and also in Cuba. However, works that propose the use of Precision Agriculture in Cuba have also been cited. It is observed that there are still few published works that describe in detail the results obtained that allow their reproducibility and there are many that describe them qualitatively. It is considered that in the particular case of drones, the extension of their use is still very expensive since in a practical way only the GEOCUBA Enterprise has all the infrastructure and trained staff for their most complete use, so different enterprise, institutions and farmers that wish to use them must make large disbursements.
