Philosophy of the Association

Helping to create soil that stretches the full potential of drones and We will promote the development of drone aviation in a healthy way.

The Japan International Drone Association (JIDA) promotes the sound development of drones by ensuring the safety of the Japanese drone aviation industry, disseminating the relevant technology and knowledge, and conducting research and surveys. As the rapid spread of drones in recent years, the number of industrial fields that make effective use of drones continues to increase, and the range of uses of drones is expanding at once. However, the technology and skills of drone pilots and their understanding of the laws and regulations related to flight cannot keep up with the progress of practical use of drones, and the incidents of falling into important buildings (prime minister’s residence, famous shrines, castles, etc.) have become a social problem one after another. In order to solve the problems related to drones, the association is engaged in activities to carry out educational projects for the preservation of aviation safety in the era ahead of drones.
