Drone deliveries on course for next year in UK

Seraphim Space Fund portfolio company Altitude Angel announces contract with NATS, the air traffic control service, a platform to enable registered drone users - such as retailers or emergency services, to be granted access to lower level airspace.

Amazon-style drone deliveries could be launched within a year under plans for a radical overhaul of the air traffic control system. For the first time, drones will be able to fly beyond their operators’ line of sight with the development of new technology to track small unmanned devices at low altitude. Nats, the national air traffic control service, said the system announced yesterday would allow drones to safely share Britain’s airspace with conventional aircraft.
