PROSPECTS FOR THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF DRONES IN ARMENIAPages 281-290
Abstract:
This research aims to analyze the current state and prospects of Armenia's drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (hereinafter UAV) industry, identifying key challenges and proposing actionable strategies for enhancement, concentrating on domestic and international regulatory impacts.
It examines regulatory and operational challenges in Armenia's UAV industry, including stringent import regulations, limited production capabilities, and a lack of standardized procedures. The paper also explores UAV applications in the agriculture and defense sectors.
The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining reviews of existing UAV regulations with qualitative interviews of key stakeholders and case studies from countries with advanced UAV industries to identify best practices. Despite challenges, Armenia's UAV sector has significant growth potential. The industry can contribute to national economic and security goals by integrating international standards and leveraging technological advancements. The research offers strategic recommendations for sustainable development.
