PUTRAJAYA: The explosive growth in the use of drones, a type of unmanned aerial system (UAS), over the past few years has led various regulators over the world to introduce measures to control their use in the interest of national security and public safety.
In view of this trend, the Civil Aviation Authority Malaysia (CAAM) – the lead agency to regulate the use of drones, has been refining the rules governing its now-ubiquitous use in filming, photography, surveillance, mapping as well as agriculture, just to name some.
