The Deputy Minister said the drone squad, managed by the Special Drone Emergency Services Task Force , was capable of doing surveillance, search and rescue operations and medical supply delivery.
"During the floods in Selangor last year and the recent landslide, our squad was mobilised to help enforcement teams handle drones. PTK2Dron, strengthened through an initiative under the National Technology and Innovation Sandbox , was launched by the ministry last year for drone companies to get technical support, regulatory assistance and test site support.
He said this DRI achievement was due to the early results of the Malaysian Drone Technology Action Plan 2022-2030 and other initiatives involving solid cooperation with various agencies and other interested parties.
