The Hub Drones Systematic (Paris region tech ecosystem) recently developed with the French Aviation Authorities a 22km BVLOS test flight corridor in the outskirts of Paris, this was an ideal opportunity for Parrot to showcase and put to the test the advanced 4G/5G autonomous capabilities of the Parrot ANAFI Ai.
With the challenge set and after gaining the authorities approval via SORA (Specific Operations Risk Assessment), the maiden approved BVLOS corridor fully autonomous 4G/5G flight was conducted with ANAFI Ai.
This fully autonomous 25min flight and 15 km was continuously monitored by a drone traffic monitoring system by EUROCONTROL and Thales.
This flight marks a significant milestone in enabling different kinds of drone operations in Europe and developing safe and efficient long-range corridors in busy areas through a stable and secured cellular connection.
The program was presented by the Hub Drones Systematic at the International Paris Air Show, Le Bourget.
