The evolution of unmanned aerial services in the UK is on the cusp of transforming industries far and wide; bringing efficiency, scaleability and speed of logistical operations, and accessibility and greater safety for workforce in challenging environments. The development of air space protocols, the creation of drone port infrastructure, and advanced permissions allowing greater autonomy and piloted flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) will all enable the development of hugely beneficial services – across land and sea, logistics and delivery, smart cities, industrial inspection, earth observation and empowering first responders with critical supplies and aid.
