The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has granted approval to heliguy for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone-in-a-box operations for Network Rail.
The multi-site approval has been granted under the UK SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment) framework at SAIL II by the CAA. It enables automated DJI Dock 3 drone-in-a-box operations at two Network Rail sites on Western and Anglia operated routes. heliguy will support site monitoring, deter trespassers and criminal activity, and help Network Rail improve operational efficiency across the network.
Drone operations will be controlled remotely by heliguy pilots from its Remote Operations Command Centre (ROCC) at the company’s headquarters in Newcastle, which is hundreds of miles away from the operational sites.
