We’re clearing a safe path for commercial drones to support businesses and drive innovation.
Commercial drone zone
We’re overcoming the challenge of flying drones beyond the visual line of sight, making the skies safe for drones to fly in unrestricted airspace.
Flight trials
In 2022, we’re carrying out trials in the 8km-long drone zone to show how business, healthcare and emergency services can make the most of safe airspace.
New opportunities
Our research is paving the way for the future of drone flight, safely opening up the skies and providing a framework for subsequent drone zones.

How is Project XCelerate rising to the challenge?
Infrastructure inspection
Our trials will showcase how drones can be used to assess maintenance needs and inspect damage for critical national infrastructure like power lines, railway tracks and cell towers.

Search and rescue
We’re exploring how drone technology can speed up response times for emergency incidents to improve the chances of survival for injured and missing persons, while also reducing costs and driving efficiencies.
