Upcoming DIREKTION Webinar – Drones in Emergency Response: The Air Traffic Management Issue
Drones are increasingly used across Europe to support situational awareness, search and rescue, and post-disaster assessment. Yet their deployment in real operations still faces major challenges related to air traffic management, airspace coordination, and regulatory constraints.
Join us for this DIREKTION webinar, organised with the support of the COLLARIS network and the CMINE DRS Stakeholder Hub, to explore how drones can be safely and effectively integrated into crisis management workflows.
