Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones will, for the first time, be flown at the upcoming 2022 biennial Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) Expo, while the attendance of private-sector oil and gas, mining and energy companies will represent a “significant presence”. In addition to the economic and logistical impact that Covid-19 had on the global aerospace and defence industries, the pandemic also forced the expo to be deferred from 2020 until this year.
