The QinetiQ West Wales UAV Centre (WWUAVC) and Clarion Events demonstrated at DSEi exhibition in London the integration and interoperability of numerous unmanned ground and airborne systems with force patrol operations in support, surveillance and protection roles through a ‘real world’ scenario.

The two have come into a strategic partnership to deliver the world’s first scenario-based programme of indoor unmanned systems demonstrations. The first such scenario, a “foot patrol in Afghanistan” was unveiled at DSEi.

The QinetiQ WWUAVC is the gateway to a unique environment that has been created to facilitate and accelerate the growth of the unmanned air systems (UAS) industry. The WWUAVC provides significant operational airspace for UAS R&D, training and demonstration, together with safety infrastructure and complementary environmental and communications test facilities across the full range of UAS platforms.
