Amazon Participates in UK Drone Trial for Remote Infrastructure Supply
Amazon and six other organizations will participate in a trial run by the UK's Civil Aviation Authority to test drone deliveries beyond the visual line of sight. The trial aims to gather data on how drones detect and avoid other aircraft and how they can communicate their presence to air traffic control. Applications being tested include delivering supplies to remote infrastructure like offshore wind farms, inspections over the North Sea, and medical deliveries.
