Public agencies across many industry sectors have already begun testing and even operationalising the use of drones in such areas, most notably by the SPF in surveillance and crowd control since 2016.

It will also cover the legal, operational and safety considerations and requirements behind the planning and executing of such aerial surveillance/inspection operations.

(Note: participants wanting to operate the drones for commercial purposes will still be required to attain an Unmanned Aerial Pilot Licence (UAPL) with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) after attending this course.)
