Unmanned systems are and will be of great benefit to society. They can be useful not only in aviation, but also in disasters and accidents and in general in all industries. This was stated today, October 21, byTodor Ivandjikov – Chairman of the Bulgarian Aviation Industry Association (BAIA) shortly before the start of today’s Forum of Experts in the field of Unmanned Systems, held within the framework of the “Drone Expo 2022”.

Hosts of the exhibition are Inter Expo Center – Sofia. The Bulgarian Aviation Industry Association is a partner of IEC for the accompanying programme of the exhibition https://interdroneexpo.bg/sup_program-2/. Aseven-panel hybrid seminar is scheduled to take place on 21 October,featuring discussions on key current drone topics:

  1. 10:00 Agricultural activities
  2. 11:00 Emergency medical supplies and courier services.
  3. 13:00 Urban and regional aviation mobility

  6. 16:00 Security and Defence
  7. 17:00 Balkan Drone Forum

The aim of the forum is to show the benefits of drones. This industry is developing extremely fast nowadays. Unfortunately, however, we do not yet have a working regulatory system governing U-Space rules. And while other European countries are already successfully testing joint flights of drones and aircraft in a controlled environment, here we do not yet have an approved regulation and test flight site. At BAIA, we continue to work hard in this direction. “, Ivandzhikov added.

In separate panels, Bulgarian and foreign experts will discuss opportunities to accelerate the creation of rules for the creation and use of drones to allow businesses to develop and create new jobs quickly and efficiently.
