Kazakhstan and Baykar discussed the use of unmanned technologies for disaster prevention

Minister of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry Zhaslan Madiev announced an important meeting with the leading Turkish company Baykar, specializing in the development and production of unmanned aerial vehicles. During the meeting with Selcuk Bayraktar, technical director and one of the founders of Baykar, the use of innovative drones to enhance capabilities in combating natural disasters was discussed.
As the frequency of natural disasters increases, it becomes increasingly clear that the implementation of the latest technologies is critically important for protecting citizens and the environment. Innovative drone systems developed by Baykar have significant potential for real-time monitoring, rapid response, and effective coordination in emergency situations. According to the General Directorate of Forestry of Turkey, one TB2 drone surveyed approximately 3,500,000 hectares of forest in the summer of 2020 and performed functions equivalent to 361 fire towers, resulting in the detection and extinguishing of 345 forest fires. To further discuss cooperation, the Baykar team has been invited to Kazakhstan.
