INNOVATING THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS: INTEGRATING TECHNOLOGY AND PEOPLE

 MERCURY DRONE PORTS PROGRAMME 

The Mercury Drone Ports Programme - a collaboration between DTLX and Angus Council placing the county of Angus at the centre of the UK’s drone industry, ready to capitalise on the next stages in drone technology - the Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) revolution.


Drone Port Montrose is Scotland’s 1st drone port and the first of a number that will be built across Angus as the project develops.


  • Phase 1: Segregated offshore Air Space Trials Area (Drone Port Montrose)
  • Phase 2: Transponder Mandatory Zone (TMZ) / unsegregated onshore and offshore airspace
  • Phase 3: ‘Centre of Excellence’ for the development of drone technology

 DRONE PORT MONTROSE - SCOTLAND'S 1ST DRONE PORT

The creation of Drone Port Montrose and those that follow will create an easy to access and affordable drone technology trials opportunity for the wide drones’ industry. Regional footprint opportunities exist for technology companies to explore early commercially viable Use Cases and for Angus-based companies, the first commercially viable programme of BVLOS operations in the UK.


During Phase 1 of the programme Drone Port Montrose comprises:


  • 11nm Airspace Trials Area of segregated airspace over the North Sea with drone corridors reaching out to the Bell Rock Lighthouse (15km) and the site of the future Seagreen windfarm (30km)
  • Ground-based facilities to support operations: a control centre, workshop, storage, team facilities
The first flights from Drone Port Montrose are planned during early 2022 – please contact info@dtl.group to find out more about the project and how DTLX can help your region develop your own drone port facilities.

FIRST PERSON VIEW (FPV) DRONE FOR USE IN THE MINING INDUSTRY

One of DTLX's development prospects is a cost effective and extremely versatile underground drone to be used in mines. The drone is flown by one of DTLX's highly skilled drone pilots using FPV goggles to access historic mine shafts which are too dangerous for people to access but allow engineers to assess the viability of re-development. 


Beyond the system's use in mines it can also be used in applications such as inspecting pipes, radioactive areas, chimneys and building inspections.

DRONE-BASED 5G CAPABILITY PROJECTS



DTLX is working with two consortia to demonstrate drone-based applications of 5G communication.


The first project will demonstrate both the use of 5G communication infrastructure on offshore buoys and an offshore network of ADS-B transmitters and receivers as part of company's BVLOS development programme.


The second project will demonstrate the use of heavy lift and survey drones to deploy a temporary 5G network enabling the high definition, live streaming of images from the mountain rescue to their control centre.
