We are being asked about two exercises taking place in the UK. One involves a small Thales drone operating from Oban to Mull carrying medical supplies, the second a larger drone being flown in Hampshire from the mainland to the Isle of Wight.
These are some early forays by the industry into how best to route drone flights within UK airspace. We are pleased that they are taking place; they clear the way for us to use our platform in due course.
As for us, our second demonstrator platform build is nearing completion and we are due to install our integrated software soon. We have managed to move onward throughout the pandemic, but obviously action has been slowed down. By re-ordering tasks and splitting up our team, however, we have made good progress.
We are now drawing up operational procedures for our early test flights. As of today, we do not know when these will be, or how we will be able to operate with mandatory social distancing. But preparation is everything in these first forays into actual operations so we are essentially keeping calm and carrying on as best.
