How do I use defender and booster drone

[N.O.R.I.E.N 1]

I just bought defender drone I know it increases the effectiveness of double armor but I actually don't have any idea about how to activate it and when it's effect is active

The effect is being activated automatically for 20 seconds as soon as you use a double armor supply.

Booster is the same, the effect is being activated as soon as you use a double power supply but the effect of booster lasts for a shorter period of time (3 seconds)

The above answers are helpful for the main question of how to use the Drones.

 

Also, if you have Defender Drone equipped, and you pick up the Double Armor supply in the battlefield, this can also apply the extra effect, but will SAVE the 3 extra consumed Double Armor supplies.

So it's a good idea to collect the supplies in battle to save your own supplies.

I believe the same goes with Booster Drone, but I have not used this drone much.

If you see the icon of your armor/damage being boosted, you know it is active. When the supply is used up, using any other supply will reduce the cooldown of the one you want to boost.

For example, I am using Booster Drone, and my Double Damage just ended, I have a 20 second cooldown before I can use my Double Damage again. If I use any other random supply, such as a Repair Kit, Double Armor, Speed Boost, or Mine, each use will reduce my cooldown by 10 seconds. 

As for the Boost itself, only when you use the Supply the Drone is supposed to improve is when the boost will be active.

For example. I have Double Damage ready. I use it, an extra Double Damage icon will appear on your tank signaling your damage will be increased for the set amount of time.

The downside of using these Drones however, is the excessive consumption of Supplies. The Defender Drone will consume 3 of your own Garage Double Armor Supplies, whereas the Booster Drone will consume 3 of your own Garage Double Damage supplies. This penalty is not applied when you pick up Supply Drops, in Battles.

In my opinion, these Drones are two of the best ones in the game currently, and should only be used if you have a lot of supplies in your inventory.
