A National Strategy for Drones Across Land, Sea and Air

A National Strategy for Drones Across Land, Sea and Air

Gosh, the voice of the drone industry, big claims from the Drone Delivery Group. John Haffenden, CEO, never heard of him! Good luck to them but be careful with the bold statements.

To date, the most successful delivery drone projects are all in Africa, by this I mean the ones delivering more than just trials.

This white paper outlines why the UK government, must act now to capitalise on autonomous drone technologies. We at the Drone Delivery Group are calling for improved coordination across government, to harmonise standards for drones that operate autonomously, across multiple domains.

Eight months in the making, this latest white paper describes a strategy that can meet the demands of an increasing number of autonomous vehicle systems.
