Emirati Drones, AI Tech Get Boost from US Export Change
The US Commerce Department has announced a significant easing of export controls for the UAE, upgrading the country to the A:5 export country group. This change is expected to give a boost to the Emirates’ domestic production of high-tech drones and other military hardware, thanks to more available dual-use technology. The move may also facilitate closer cooperation between American defense companies and UAE institutions, according to analysts. The decision was reported by Breaking Defense.
