The war in Ukraine has transformed drone tech. Ukraine alone is burning 20k to 30k drones a month. The military applications are leading to huge investments; economies of scale are leading to rapid improvements in tech and reduction in costs.

A drone with a FLIR can do a great job of sweeping for UXO and mines. Which will be big business (it would take every mine clearing team on the planet 750 years to clear Ukraine given current non-drone tech).
