Watch this recording to hear from project CAELUS where the team is designing a digital blueprint to assess the viability of an innovative drone medical logistics network. Moving towards trials in segmented and un-segmented airspace, this project aims to create an innovative logistic network to improve efficiencies in medical delivery which is scalable to a national level.

Join us to hear from the SATE (Sustainable Aviation Test Environment) project which will create the UK’s first remote low-carbon aviation test centre at Kirkwall Airport in the Orkney Islands in Scotland.

Join this webinar to hear from the consortia behind the ‘Dr-SUIT’ project. The team is developing an integrated communication system to enable single pilot, multiple drone inspection of off-shore wind farms. A novel battery and recharging system, including a novel, ‘swarm-aware’ battery health management system, will transform asset management. Heading towards live trials before the end of Phase II, the team is keen to engage with a range of experts including Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) operators, drone service providers with OWF expertise/focus, wind turbine/blade manufacturers and IoT specialists.

Join us to hear from the ISHIMANO (Integrated System for High Integrity Monitoring of Advanced-Air-Mobility Network Operations) project. This consortium is delivering innovative technologies to improve situational awareness of UAVs and their integration into air traffic management and unmanned traffic management. The project’s next stage is to operate the technologies to enable BVLOS and the team is keen to hear from prospective Phase 3 partners looking to establish commercial BVLOS flight operations.
