Drones are forging new pathways within many industries every day, creating safer methods of work that no longer puts people at risk in hazardous situations. Now, we see what drones can offer in the landscape of emergency response.

Current UK legislation relating to the ‘Open’ Category is based around the Class Marking of the drone you are using. There are currently no Class marked drones on the market – What does this mean to you?

Yes, drones can be used for more than cool aerial footage in social media videos today. UK drones are actually being leveraged at a rapid pace for construction work, data collection, and picture-taking, completely revolutionising the industry as we once knew it. Providing more accurate intel in a fraction of the normal time without endangering any lives, the potential for construction drones knows no limits at this time.

For years, drone distribution companies have been using UK drones to complete inspections, construction projects, media projects, and more. Leveraging this newfound power in our world that takes to the sky and mitigates danger as well as human error in the process, drone surveying is only increasing in popularity throughout our country today.
