Drone potential hindered by regulatory hurdles, lack of funding

While the South African drone manufacturing sector could increase its participation in the international market, regulatory hurdles, as well as a lack of funding and government support, are some of the challenges hindering market growth. South Africa has relatively positive geopolitical relationships with most countries, which enable local manufacturers to reach a wider international market, thus positioning them for diverse opportunities, says unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) manufacturer Aerial Monitoring Solutions MD Adam Rosman.
