The Japan Drone Promotion Association held a “training session on the utilization of drones in crisis countermeasures” for the demonstration of near-future technology for local government employees in Aichi and Gifu prefectures at Chubu University Nagoya Campus.

The Japan Drone Promotion Association has been conducting “regional industry revitalization projects utilizing drones” all over the country and is working toward the promotion of drones.
Drones are rapidly becoming widespread in society, and as a scene of their utilization, service markets such as pesticide spraying, civil engineering surveying, and facility inspections such as solar panels are already being formed, and in the future, disaster investigations, etc. Is also expected to be used for public purposes.

Drones are also called the Industrial Revolution in the sky, and are rapidly becoming widespread in society. The scenes of their utilization are not limited to simple aerial photography, but also pesticide spraying, civil engineering surveys, and equipment inspections such as solar panels. Service markets such as these are already being formed, and are expected to be used for public purposes such as disaster surveys in the future.
Under such circumstances, we held this workshop and received a great deal of interest from a large number of local governments.
