Investigating the Usability of UAV (Drone) Technology in the Logistics Industry in Bahrain

The use of  UAVs or what is known "Drone" by the military has been greatly perceived as a great  application to meet the assigned objectives, but in the logistics industry is still considered very much in its infancy according to recent studies. However, many organizations have already tested the technology in order to achieve some objectives which have been identified as the key factors to face the new challenges in the logistics industry, especially for  delivery, as a way to provide cost savings & fast delivery in the long term, especially after increasing in fuel prices and getting traffic congestion more difficult. In this paper, the author will investigate the effect of drone technology in the logistics industry in Bahrain, and its usability to make the logistics operations more efficient after increasing fuel prices in recent year, along with limit in land area and the population growth in Bahrain.  This paper explores the primary research question: Could the logistics industry in Bahrain benefit by pursuing an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle " Drone" logistic concept to face the new challenges? The paper used the quantitative approaches. The quantitative research includes questionnaires that are distributed to respondents who are running the logistics with rich experience in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The author selected the Stimulus Theoretical Framework as most appropriate technology model for this research paper to analyze the results based on the SEM technique.
