The Thunderbird Project: Lifesaving Beyond Sight

The Thunderbird: Lifesaving Beyond Sight report, published in December 2024, outlines the United Kingdom’s advancements in integrating Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations into emergency services. These drones are pivotal in enhancing situational awareness, locating missing persons, and delivering critical medical supplies like defibrillators.

The report highlights several key trials:

Project SWARM: Evaluates drone swarming technology for fire detection and coordinated response.
National Project CALEUS: Conducts four drone-in-a-box trials in the West Midlands, Southampton, Gravesend, and Norwich, assessing various systems and procedures.
Project Skyway: Develops a drone ‘superhighway’ connecting Reading, Oxford, Milton Keynes, and Coventry to facilitate large-scale BVLOS operations.
National Police Chiefs’ Council Initiatives: Tests sub-25kg drones for policing applications and explores the use of drones over expansive areas alongside traditional aircraft.

The report identifies ten priority themes across five core areas essential for the successful deployment of BVLOS drones in emergency scenarios:

Assurance & Regulation: Addressing drone ‘state aircraft’ use, ground risk management, and airspace integration.
Emergency-Specific Systems: Developing specialized hardware, software, and payload delivery methods.
Operational Integration: Facilitating data sharing and inter-agency BVLOS coordination beyond existing protocols.
Commercial Scalability: Assessing the cost-benefit applicability for emergency BVLOS operations.
Public Engagement & Use: Enhancing public perception and community acceptance.

The Thunderbird initiative emphasizes stakeholder collaboration, open innovation, and shared learning to expedite the routine use of lifesaving BVLOS drone operations across the UK.

ARPAS-UK welcomes and supports The Thunderbird Project’s paper.

Free tools for drone operators: Dronedesk webinar – WATCH AGAIN

A live demo of free web resources by Dronedesk!

Join us for this webinar where we showcase a range of free web tools built for drone operators. Whether you’re a startup figuring out how much to charge or trying to understand your ideal customer avatar, or a long-time professional wanting to monitor airspace risks in real-time, or get your tech spec docs together for an OSC submission, this webinar has something for you.

Speaker Bio:

Dorian Ellis, Founder & Director of Dronedesk

After retraining to be a drone operator in 2018, Dorian quickly became fed up with the admin burden of flight planning. So, he decided to do something about it and started building automation tools to lighten the load and speed the process up.

Those tools quickly came together as a single web application with features requested by dozens of drone professionals who were generous enough to provide their feedback (both good and bad!).

Five years on, and Dronedesk is now used by hundreds of drone operators across the world.

Dorian is fiercely independent and has no outside investment or partners in the business, meaning he can focus on delivering value to users and not to shareholders. Keen to give back to the drone community in recognition of their support, Dorian is regularly building and releasing web-based tools outside of Dronedesk which he hopes will be useful to all drone operators.

Dronedesk is an ARPAS-UK Member.

Watch our previous webinar with Dorian and Dronedesk: Managing Drone Operations in the Cloud: Watch Again – ARPAS UK. This is from October 2022 and there have been several updates to Dronedesk. However, it remains a good overview of their software.

Just Culture in UAS: Lessons from Experience in Aviation: WATCH AGAIN

Join us as we discuss Just Culture in UAS. This webinar is part of ARPAS-UK’s commitment to professionalising the drone industry.

In this webinar, we explore how the principles of Just Culture, widely adopted in the aviation industry, can be effectively applied to the rapidly growing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) sector.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience in aviation, including 27 years as an airline pilot and leader, we will discuss how fostering a culture of accountability and learning, rather than blame, can improve safety, operational efficiency, and incident management in UAS operations. Whether you’re a UAS operator, manager, or safety professional, this session will provide valuable insights into building a resilient and safety-focused organisational culture.
