Dave Drewitt from Thales, giving a talk entitled "Sharing Skies- Enabling Safe and Secure Drone Operations", at the the 2023 DroneX Tradeshow and Conference, Excel, London.


In Aerospace, governments, airports, airlines, pilots, crews and passengers rely on Thales to make flight safer, easier and more efficient. We do this by designing, delivering and supporting the systems that keep our skies running. From air traffic management, training and simulation solutions, nose-to-tail aircraft connectivity and in-flight services, we enable and connect all parts of the aerospace ecosystem in the air, on the ground, and in between. Thanks to Thales’ longstanding avionics heritage, we provide a broad range of technical solutions for drone manufacturers and operators. Solutions that support, at scale, increasingly complex and challenging drone operations. The solutions we develop focus on ensuring operations are not only safe, but comply with current national and international legislation and regulations. That way, we can support the risk assessment methodology for all commercial drone applications and use-cases, including surveillance, delivery, monitoring, mapping, and maintenance, as well as many others. On our stand this year, we’ll be demonstrating a range of cutting-edge capabilities. These include air traffic management solutions, plug-and-play and off-the-shelf avionics equipment to lower the cost and complexity for new entrants to the market, equipment to enable safe, secure drone flights and operations, and counter-UAS solutions to defend critical infrastructure from unwanted drones. We’ll hear a keynote speech from Dave Drewitt, Head of Sales and Business Development, Flight Avionics, UK, on speeding up the development and implementation of key technologies, procedures, and processes to usher in a new generation of drone services.
