The potential of Andalusia in the drone industry

The potential of Andalusia in the drone industry
The development of the drone industry is unstoppable all over the world. If we look  to the figures that are handled in the Strategic Plan for the Development of the drone civil sector in Spain, in the future the fleet of drones for professional use could exceed 51,400 aircraft in 2035 and reach 53,500 in 2050. But If we consider the data that this same Plan collects in the period between 2018 and 2021, there is no doubt that Andalusia...

Andalusia, epicenter of UAS technology development

Andalusia, epicenter of UAS technology development
Talking about unmanned aerial systems is no longer a question of the future, but of the present. UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems) are increasingly integrated into our society, supporting and improving the development of activities in different areas: industrial, defense, security, energy, surveillance, among other applications. That is why more and more companies and programs in Spain manage their knowledge and focus the development of technology...

The future of drones

The future of drones
The aviation and technology sectors have undergone a revolution with new applications and technologies related to unmanned aerial systems, commonly called drones (UAS / UAV / RPAS). Not only because of the new possibilities of business and commercial activity that have opened in the civil market, both for large companies and for, especially, SMEs traditionally linked to the aeronautical sector, but also for new uses and applications that are...

UNVEX ECO-AGRO: the future of drones

Last October 9-11 UNVEX ECO-AGRO, the first national professional congress on unmanned aerial systems (UAS / RPAS), also called UAVs and drones, was held in Andalusia. This was the first event of Spain and Europe fully devoted to the applications of these technologies to two particularly important sectors in our country: environment and agriculture. UNVEX ECO-AGRO brought together all actors in this field (companies, research organizations,...
