SKYWAY

ANGOKA’s role

  • Supplying innovative solutions to secure drone communication

  • Key influencer of Regulation and Policy.

Project overview

​Project Skyway is part of Innovate UK’s Future Flight Challenge Programme. The Skyway consortium is working together in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority to revolutionise the world of aviation by enabling drones to travel Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) - extending the distance they can travel, a factor that is currently limiting their full potential. Once drones can travel long distances safely alongside other sky users they can be more readily used for emergency response, search and rescue, the transportation of organs and medical supplies, conducting safer, more efficient surveys – amongst many other beneficial uses.
