Missing information
Technical specification of the project, there’s only unbinding vision.
Are there any partnerships with drone manufacturers?
Is there a cooperation with any government? Which country?
Will the drones need a special hardware? Who’ll manufacture it? Who’ll convince manufacturers to add it to their products?
