Recently, a document called the White Paper was produced and presented to the Government which set out ways for the Government to accelerate the growth of the Drone industry and transform the UK’s capability to achieve global leadership in Drone technology.
The document calls for the development of new testing
grounds to deliver public safety.
The impact of drone technology is estimated to be a
complete game changer in the global financial market. Barclays bank recently
predicted that the global drone market is set to grow ten-fold in the next five
years, reaching a value of £30 billion, yes £30 billion!
Robert Garbett, Chairman
of the UK Drone Delivery Group told reporters: ‘Our guidance to Government, outlined in the
White Paper, urges the creation of testing sites throughout the UK, a process
that we in the Drone Delivery Group, have already started, with considerable
interest, particularly from airports and large landowners.
‘The
Government has been very supportive of the drone industry and it recognises
that the speed of growth of this extraordinary sector will be guaranteed if we
focus on the testing of its effectiveness and public safety, as outlined in our
White Paper today. This acceleration of the drone industry will provide
economic growth, jobs and career opportunities now, and for generations to
come.’
