Smart Farming leverages IoT with the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), to collect environmental data in real-time, improving crop management and precision agriculture applications. Precision agriculture employs autonomous UAVs to gather data from wireless sensor networks, particularly in places with inadequate or no established communication infrastructure. This study explores the use of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology to regulate agricultural output. It evaluates whether combining diverse sensing and control technologies—such as optical, radio frequency, near infrared, thermal, multi-spectral, hyper-spectral, LiDAR, and sonar—is practicable in smart agricultural environments. In addition to stressing the cost and small size of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), which might encourage economic growth in developing countries, the article also emphasizes the potential of drones and UAS in agriculture and the need for increasing financial investment in the farm. With the recent integration of precision agriculture sensors into UAS, operations such as field visualization, plant stress recognition, biomass calculation, weed control, stock counting, and chemical spraying may now be completed with greater effectiveness. This research attempts to give a review of the most successful techniques to have precision-based crop monitoring and pest management in agriculture fields utilizing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or unmanned aircraft.
