The conference programme will cover commercial and defence applications, including low-altitude economic development, regional drone industry cooperation and next-generation military unmanned systems.
Technical presentations will also examine cloud-powered drone operations, AI-enabled autonomy for defence and agriculture, and technologies designed to address satellite navigation vulnerabilities, including jamming and spoofing.
Visitors will be able to observe indoor demonstrations by participating technology providers and organisations, while outdoor demonstrations supported by Thailand’s Digital Economy Promotion Agency will highlight applications in disaster management, smart transportation and logistics.
