Made in Pakistan drones to benefit agriculture and LEAs, says Chaudhry
- The newly developed drones will not only be used in the agricultural sector but for patrolling and monitoring as well.
After successfully developing ventilators, the Made in Pakistan concept has made the country capable of successfully manufacturing drones as well.
The newly developed drones will not only be used in the agricultural sector but for patrolling and monitoring as well informed Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, during his visit to the production unit of ABM SATUMA, a drones-manufacturing company.
There is a lot of scope for drones in the agricultural sector whether it is for seeding, monitoring or spraying said Chaudhry. “All the fundamentals of agricultural have now been taken over by drones, so it was necessary for Pakistan to manufacture these drones, and this will change farming in Pakistan,” he said.
Another benefit of this technology is for law enforcement agencies said Chaudhry, and revealed that he is in talks with the motorway authority and relevant ministries in this matter.
“We will shift the motorway surveillance to drones, this will cut a lot of costs as drones are now capable to stay on the air for longer periods, and can monitor the areas. We will also want to provide these drones to the Islamabad police.”
Earlier, an MoU was recently signed between the Ministry of Science and Technology and ABM SATUMA.
