An unmanned insurance drone can include a drone body and a sensor unit disposed on the drone body to collect sensor data. An on-board data processor converts the sensor data into insurance related information, and a wireless communication unit in communication with the data processor to transmit the insurance related information. In another example, the data processor may not be on the drone but remotely located. The location can be with the pilot or a control collection location. If the insurance related information is separate from the drone, than the wireless communication unit can transmit the raw sensor data to the processor.
