• This is according to Falcon Eye Drones (FEDS), the Middle East’s leading provider of DT^3 (Drone Technology, Data Technology, and Digital Transformation) technology, who underscored the importance of the new law in removing a major barrier in developing and utilising drones to its fullest potential
