“After choosing an international company, Kazakhstan Engineering will set up Kazakh production of the systems of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that meet the requirements of the government agencies and organisations at the Aviation Technology Center. The potential consumers of the UAVs are law enforcement agencies, government agencies and commercial organizations,” the company said.
