INTER DRONE EXPO IS THE FIRST EXHIBITION IN THE BALKANS that provides the professional community as well as the general audience with the unique opportunity to get familiar with the various uses of Drone & Anti Drone and Unmanned Systems. The exhibition provides a platform that brings together stakeholders in this specific field and a networking point of contact for professionals in the sector.
Dealing with new challenges and crises on a global scale has called for the use of technologies that can deliver high-grade and accurate information within a very short timeframe.
Drones are a technology that has assumed an important role in our daily lives, and applications in various fields abound: border surveillance, traffic monitoring, fire fighting, disaster management, reconnaissance, high altitude rescue, oceanography, weather forecasting, aerospace, terrain mapping, GPS navigation, coast guard management, farmland surveillance, aerial recordings, insurance events, site remediation and monitoring, industrial control, 3D video mapping, terrain auditing, urban planning, mining management and many more.
Bulgaria was one of the world’s pioneers in aviation, and the first flights with different types of aircraft were performed before World War 1. The progress of aviation in Bulgaria led to the development of various aircraft (at the DAR and LAZ workshops), as well as to the start of professional trainings for pilots and aerospace engineers and technicians.
In the 1970s Bulgaria developed one of the most powerful aviation industries in Eastern Europe and one of the world’s largest agricultural aviation industries, ranking 4th in the development, operations and number of aircraft.
Alongside professional aviation, a number of adventure sports such as paragliding, motor-paragliding, parachuting and aeromodelling advanced, with the latter reaching world-class level in Bulgaria.
The easy access to new technology, electronic components and equipment has led to a rapid pace of development and booming of aeromodelling worldwide over the past 10 years.
Different types of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) are now widely used in all industrial fields: geodesy, archaeology, farming, open-pit quarrying and mining, and many others, complementing purely military applications where various radio-controlled models are used, including aerial, underwater and ground-based ones.
