| - | In general, it seems that in most countries, the market for skilled UAVOs, using RC only flying modes is rather saturated. However, we predict the demand for new positions with a requirement to handle drone operations with a high level of autonomy. Those positions will naturally expand from the manual (RC) only UAVOs, along with the growing complexity of the operations. This applies straightforwardly to the drone utilities and services sector, including | + | In general, it seems that in most countries, the market for skilled UAVOs, using RC-only flying modes is rather saturated.
