 I did the minutes of the meetings, and will create a template of the minutes to allow faster creation of future minutes. I also help to refine the text so that it’ll be suitable and easier to present by the presenters. I also sourced out some real life examples that we can use and also allows people to understand the idea clearly. Updates as of 01/11/2024 Did some comparisons of Zipline drones and a similar company that I had found online. To begin, I used ChatGPT to first find some other companies that also operate drones as a delivery service in SEA and gotten an Indonesian Company named Garuda IO.  Proceeded towards their website to see what information they have on their drone and found out that their drone [Cerena X8] while is a technically a tilt rotor, it does not have proper lift generating devices such as wings. Although the drone is technically different, I did a quick comparison of performance statistics of both just to have a quick idea in the differences. The main differe

In the swiftly evolving realm of modern warfare, commercial drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 Pro have emerged as pivotal tools, transforming the execution of tactical operations and allow the DJI Magic 3 Pro to dominate conflict zones with their range, flight time, cost of operations, and versatility. As mentioned on the official DJI Webpage   (DJI, n.d.) , the flagship model of the Mavic 3 line, priced around USD$2,000, offers a special 3-axis gimbal tri-camera system, a 360 ° -degree sensor suite. The tri – camera system contains a main 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera that can capture up to 20 MP still shots and record footage up to 50fps with 2 additional telephoto cameras of 70mm focal length, giving a 3x zoom, while the other, of 166 mm focal length, allows the user to take footage at 7x zoom and at 4k60 resolution   (Kurkowski, 2023) . Additionally, 3-axis gimbals allow the Mavic 3 Pro to be a stable platform for photography and videography even during dynamic maneuvers executed by the

Drones have been used by military forces for decades, one of the earliest military drones, the MQ-1 Predator drone was deployed in conflicts from 1995 onwards   (Morbi, 2011) . However, a new breed of cheaper commercial drones has emerged. In the rapidly changing landscape of modern warfare, commercial drones such as the DJI Mavic 3 Pro have risen to prominence, redefining how tactical operations are conducted. Drones with their flight times, range, remarkable versatility and cost – effective operational capabilities offer militaries a groundbreaking new advantage in reconnaissance and engagement.    One such drone used in the conflict is the DJI Mavic 3 Pro. From the official DJI Webpage   (DJI, n.d.)  , the flagship model of the Mavic 3 line, priced around USD$2,000, offers a special 3-axis gimbal tri-camera system, a 360 ° -degree sensor suite.
