The Sky Hopper project is building a library of resources relating to UAV development.
We are also producing our own white papers on industry developments as well as the progress of our own vehicle.
And we regularly update our news blog on issues relating to UAV development that interest us.
The Sky Hopper initiative has a secondary agenda; to enhance knowledge and capability in the technical development of autonomous systems across the UK.
WHITE PAPERS
The issue of trust is central to the introduction of new technologies, especially in the developed world with widespread regulation protecting manufacturing standards and safety-in-use. The UAV industry faces particular requirements that need entrepreneurs to build widespread trust.
Sky Hopper and Relief Operations
This paper analyses how Sky Hopper could be used to provide rapid humanitarian relief and infrastructure repair. It uses the example of the damage to Barbuda and Anguila as the basis for an analysis of operations.
In this paper we address the issue of how to move from a product focus on drones to a commercial focus on the market for the use of drones.
A short piece asking whether UAV systems will need some form of “front door” provided by a controller to prevent illicit use.
PROJECT UPDATES
IT’S TIME … to engage with us . Or .. help us build our demonstrators by making a pledge. so that we can make civil UAV operations a reality worldwide
Calling all sponsors! We would love some of our industrial companies to come forward and offer us sponsorship for our community outreach initiatives.
