Maritime Drone Testing

The coastal location of the Drone Certification Agency facility makes it well suited for maritime drone testing and development. With access to Portland Harbour and open sea environments, operators can conduct trials involving ship-to-shore operations, maritime surveillance platforms and offshore logistics scenarios.

Maritime and offshore environments

Additional aviation or maritime assets may be coordinated to support operational demonstrations and system evaluation where required. This enables organisations to develop and test drone capabilities designed for maritime and offshore environments within a safe and controlled setting.
