The Singapore UAS Community by AAIS had a good two days (6-7 Mar 2024) at Drones & Uncrewed Asia, supporting our members and engaging with regulators and industry. We also kick-started our preparation for the 2024/2025 edition of the Singapore UAS Directory.
Compared to last year, the drones component of the show has grown. We were particularly encouraged by the growing participation of our members: Viasat, Avetics Global, Heron AirBridge, SwissDrones, Temasek Polytechnic, Thales and YJP Surveyors.
There was a lot going on with the drones theme now sharing the main stage, in addition to the parallel sessions at the UAV Innovation Theatre. A keynote and two panel discussions were featured:
1. Harmonising operational procedures: converging paths towards standardisation
