| Summary: | The rapid development of drone technology has the potential to revolutionize various sectors in Malaysia, especially in the context of Industry 4.0. This research explores the feasibility and challenges of integrating drones into commercial applications, focusing on three critical factors: technological readiness, regulatory dynamics, and air-ground infrastructure. While drones hold promise for improving efficiency and reducing costs in industries such as logistics, agriculture, and infrastructure inspection, several barriers hinder their widespread adoption. These include limitations in battery life, AI integration, and the underdeveloped regulatory framework. Additionally, the lack of supporting air-ground infrastructure, such as 5G networks and droneports, further complicates large-scale drone deployment. This study also examines the role of collaborative initiatives between stakeholders, including government agencies, private industries, and regulatory bodies, in overcoming these obstacles and fostering smoother integration. By assessing these factors, the research aims to provide a comprehensive model for facilitating the growth of the drone industry in Malaysia, ultimately contributing to the nation's transition into a more efficient and technologically advanced economy. The findings will offer valuable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers aiming to unlock the full potential of drones in Malaysia's commercial landscape. |
