Description
Autel Robotics, a Chinese drone manufacturer, is a producer of drones with capabilities such as high-resolution cameras, precise surveillance tools, and the ability to carry out military functions like shooting or carrying payloads. Autel drones have been widely deployed in various conflict zones. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) make extensive use of Autel drones. According to the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, while they were initially deployed for surveillance and intelligence gathering, including for indoor operations, their use later expanded to include direct attacks on Palestinian civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. Autel drones are widely used by law enforcement agencies in the U.S, and have also been adopted by the British Army and UK police forces, including those in Nottinghamshire and Wiltshire. The company has a registered office in the UAE.
