Builds a centralised autonomous BVLOS drone-operations stack for critical national infrastructure inspection: pilots supervise fleets remotely from a central control room while drones fly autonomously. First UK company authorised by the CAA for routine BVLOS flights; National Grid has adopted its centralised autonomous drone inspections of live power infrastructure, a world-first for large-scale BVLOS near live sites. Backed by Boeing; expanding into European clean-energy inspection markets.
