Can i deploy a gear to battefield even if there are no friendly units there
No — friendly units don't matter here, because Gear simply can't be played to a battlefield at all. Gear are played to your Base unless an effect specifically says otherwise (Rules 148.1.a.1, 149.2); the presence or absence of units there is irrelevant.
That's true even if you do control the battlefield — playing units there is allowed, but Gear aren't Affected by that.
The only ways a Gear ends up at a battlefield are: it's Hidden and played from facedown at that battlefield (Rule 811), or it's attached to a unit that's located there. An unattached non-unit Gear that somehow ends up at a battlefield is Recalled to its controller's Base during the next Cleanup (Rule 149.3).

Does this answer look correct?
The rules for 'deploy' aren't known yet. This will come with the Radiance CR update release. But from what spoilers I have seen I'm assuming yes.
