Drone Technology Development: Potential, Challenges and Implications on Local Industry in Brunei Darussalam

In this modern era, society is categorized as intellectuals where society is now more sensitive to information technology. Drones are one of the aviation technologies that must be mastered because they have many positive uses. One of its uses is for mapping territories, firefighting, searching for missing persons and others. Brunei Darussalam also has drone users among its citizens whether for work or hobbies. However, the potential of drone companies has not yet been seen in Brunei Darussalam. This is because the use of drones has not yet become prominent in society and the type of services in the use of drones is still at a low level. Therefore, this study will study the potential of drone companies for local industries. The scope of this study will focus on the potential of drone companies in terms of the type of services used in local industries. The methodology that will be used is a mixed data method, namely qualitative and quantitative. The first phase is to identify the extent of the use of drone technology in local industries. The second phase is to follow the constructs to obtain the main themes from the data collected in interviews, questionnaires and documents regarding drone technology users in local industries. The themes that will be taken in each interview, questionnaire and document will be analyzed according to the stated study objectives. It is hoped that the results of this study will further assist in the use of drone technology towards the use of drones and continue to achieve Brunei Vision 2035.
