The Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA), popularly known as drones, are controlled from a ground station or may operate fully autonomous, and can be used for imaging and topographic mapping activities, atmospheric and environmental data collection, surveillance, search and saving, as well as transporting objects. In order to exploit the potential of the RPA, in the most different areas, from the military to the commercial, the Barreira do Inferno Launch Center (CLBI) and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) has been developing technologies aimed at these aircraft. Within the context of the plural functionality of this technological tool, this paper presents the RPA as an integrating vehicle of great importance in the development and sustainability of smart cities. Specifically, technological resources and their applications. In addition, the role of the tool as a vehicle for strengthening the innovation ecosystem covered by the Triple Helix (Universities, Governments and Industry) is discussed, as well as its use focused on the well-being of society, which is at the heart of the cities of the future.
