Evolving Role of UAVs: A Case of Pakistan
Journal Title: Journal of Aerospace & Security Studies - Year 2022, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has grown significantly in recent years. Because of their efficiency, precision, low cost, and lower risk, UAVs have seen rapid adoption in civil, commercial, and military sectors. The vast array of their applications, spanning from entertainment to national security, has prompted global technology giants and governments to invest in this field. Their role will continue to develop as technology advances and they are likely to become more effective, safer, and dependable in the future. In Pakistan, UAVs are being used in the civil and military domains. This paper aims to shed light on the evolving role of UAVs in both these domains, shed light on Pakistan's existing UAV capabilities and their applications, and suggest a way forward for the country to get maximum gains out of this technology in the future.
