We hosted the launch of Flarebright’s ‘Containment with Confidence’ at our Drone Centre. This UKRI Future Flight project uses our DTDC to prove safe BVLOS operations, helping move from helicopter monitoring to efficient, low-carbon drone solutions.

Working closely with @BristolUni, @sheffielduni and Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, we were able to test how Windracers ULTRA can help crews spot small fires before they spread and deliver fire retardant to slow their growth.
