In Minkabu and Kabutan's "Popular Theme Rankings," "Drones" ranked 17th.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced on Tuesday that it revised guidelines for safely conducting simultaneous multi-drone operations, removing the upper limit on the number of aircraft a single pilot can operate concurrently. This will enable more efficient operations in logistics and infrastructure inspections, allowing operators at remote control bases to manage multiple drones across different areas simultaneously, thereby reducing operational costs.

Drones are expected to serve as crucial industrial tools to address social issues, including labor shortages and a shrinking, aging population, while creating new added value. However, the initial guidelines restricted operations to a maximum of five aircraft per operator. The newly revised guidelines outline requirements for safe multi-drone operations, incorporating organizational coordination training for operators and assistants, alongside the establishment of operational procedures and emergency response protocols.
