Building Cross-Border Cooperation Strategies for Drones in the Development Sector
Drones, or uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), have emerged as transformative tools across various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, disaster management, and environmental conservation. Their ability to access remote areas, collect real-time data, and perform tasks with precision has positioned them as critical instruments for addressing development challenges. However, their association with military applications has significantly impacted public perception, often overshadowing their potential as instruments of development and equity. This article explores the need for cross-border cooperation in the Indian Subcontinent to harness drones for development purposes. It highlights the benefits of such collaboration and outlines specific strategies that countries can adopt to foster innovation, economic growth, and sustainable development.
