“…Over the past year, the project has demonstrated safe, scalable and secure management of drone traffic as the industry expands Drones across Europe can be found flying surveying missions, responding to natural disasters, assisting with the COVID-19 response, and delivering essential items like food and medicine. For the industry to grow, we must be able to manage this variety of traffic safely, efficiently, cost-effectively, and fairly.Today the UK Government’s Connected Places Catapult along with Wing and other industry partners shared the results of a six-month simulation of an “open-access” drone traffic management system. This successfully demonstrated how unmanned aircraft performing tasks from emergency response to delivering groceries could share the sky safely with each other, and with larger aircraft.In the UK, research suggests that there will be 75,000 commercial drones in operation by 2030…”
