Dufour Aerospace has integrated its platform into the Volatus Operations Control Centre (OCC) to support beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations. This marked the deployment of the first instance of Dufour’s web based operational application and remote operator procedures outside the company’s own organisation. Included in the update was a standalone simulation environment to support procedural training and operational preparation.
As part of the activities, Volatus successfully conducted the first remotely operated flight from the control centre using the Aero-30 platform.
Dufour and Volatus are working together to support the development of long-range logistics capabilities. The successful flight from the OCC demonstrated key parts of this operational concept in a real environment, including remote operator workflows, communication infrastructure and operational procedures.
