Catapult Connected Places – Airspace of the Future Showcase

DATE: 15 June, 2022

LOCATION: DARTeC at Cranfield University (invite only) and online

START TIME: 10:00 am END TIME: 2:30 pm

The Airspace of the Future consortium led by Thales are hosting their final showcase event at the DARTeC facility at Cranfield University.

The project partners are: Thales, Cranfield University, Cranfield Airport Operations, Inmarsat, Altitude Angel, Ocado Group, Blue Bear, Satellite Applications Catapult, and Connected Places Catapult.

Over the past 21 months this multi-skilled, cross-sector consortium has been focussing on exploring the challenges that the future use of drones at scale will face and how we solve them. The project has been developing a coherent, UK-wide solution that will meet regulatory and safety requirements which will enable equitable access to the airspace to all drone operators against a managed and controlled framework.

During the hybrid event you will hear from the project partners who will be discussing what the airspace may look like in the future with regards to creating a safe, sustainable and accessible airspace.
