Drone Association Thailand took part in the meeting as a stakeholder involved in developing, promoting, and regulating the use of unmanned aircraft, focusing on presenting information, opinions, and perspectives from the public, users, operators, and other stakeholders in Thailand's drone industry \u2014 so that establishing the center can address every dimension comprehensively: national security, public safety, law enforcement, and promoting the correct, appropriate, and most beneficial use of drone technology.<\/p>

The Association believes that establishing a center for the management, control, and counter-measures of unmanned aircraft is a key mechanism to support the growth of drone technology in Thailand, as unmanned aircraft continue to play an increasing role inagriculture, industry, surveying, transportation, education, and rescue operations,<\/strong> as well as security missions.<\/strong> Having a central agency or clear management mechanism will help ensure drone use meets consistent standards, reduce the risk of improper use, and build confidence among the public, government agencies, and the private sector.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
