Discussion topic: An unmanned aerial vehicle or drone is a device that has become a new technology superstar in recent years. It gives us a bird’s eye view! It has rapidly conquered the film and entertainment industries, including journalism, and continues to expand its sphere of activity: agriculture, sports, surveillance, delivery of goods, security and more and more. This encourages people to create more and more new applications for drones, and at the same time, the number of people whose profession is called “drone pilots” is increasing, learning it in special “drone pilot schools”. What role do drones play now and what will it be in the future? To these questions representatives of technology, media, agriculture and forestry fields, as well as drone hooligan, will try to answer during the discussion.
Representatives: LMT was represented in the discussion by innovation project manager Evija Plone. Other participants of the discussion panel: the representative of Drone Racing Latvia, the commander of the Air Force Training Center of the National Armed Forces and the Deputy Head of Forestry of the Latvian State Forests.
