Drone for Good: PTK2DRON

Pasukan Tindakan Kecemasan Khas Dron (PTK2Dron) - PTK2 Dron is part of MDTAP30 (mission 3) which provides support for security and rescue forces to respond faster and safer using drone and robotic technologies during emergencies or disasters in Malaysia.

The initiative was set up by the Ministry of Technology, Science and Technology (MOSTI) in 2021 and led by MRANTI as the coordinating agency to provide assistance to flood victims through the cooperation of local authorities, industry and selected drone players.

This effort involves several ministries and government agencies including the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), Fire Department (BOMBA), National Disaster Relief Management Agency (NADMA), Department of Survey and Mapping (JUPEM) and Malaysian Space Agency (MYSA).

Through PTK2Dron 2022, selected drone and technology companies have been reviewed and assigned to provide related solutions such as surveillance, monitoring, and data analysis to assist the disaster response team and be ready to be activated in areas throughout Malaysia.
