Unlike its neighbours, utilisation of sUAS for military application is still at experimentation and evaluation stage. The Royal Bruneian Air Force (TUDB) has recently announced its intention to procure an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platform to provide Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaisance (ISR) capabilities to the Royal Bruneian Armed Forces (RBAF).
