21st SSF Security Talk | Gamechanger in the Military and Civilian Sector»
Drone technology has developed rapidly in recent years and is now an indispensable part of both military and civilian life. Supported by AI and satellite-based reconnaissance, drones have massively increased the operational capabilities of modern armed forces. At the same time, they make the battlefield transparent, which is tantamount to a revolution in warfare.
The civilian development and use of drones has also multiplied, opening up new opportunities in areas such as logistics, agriculture, energy, mobility, civil protection & disaster relief, security & surveillance, meteorology, etc.
