UK GOVERNMENTS DRONES PATHFINDER Case study PROGRAMME FRAMEWORK INTRODUCTION The drone Pathfinder Programme (Programme) was announced in 2015 as part of the strong drive across government to promote emerging technologies as a driver for growth. The exploitation of drone technology could present important opportunities for UK industry to become a world leader in drone technology. The Programme is part of a wider programme of work, both governments led and across the UKs public and private sectors, aimed at enabling integration of drones into UK airspace. In 2018 the Programmes focus was reviewed and refreshed, under the governance of the Department for Transport (DfT), the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Connected Places Catapult (CPC). GOVERNMENT DRIVERS DELIVERING THE GOVERNMENTS INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY The Industrial Strategy is about boosting productivity and earning power across the UK, building on our world-class strengths and making the most of untapped potential. As a tool that can be deployed across many sectors, drones provide a clear opportunity for the Government to deliver on its industrial strategy, as well as the Future of Mobility Grand Challenge - one of four Grand Challenges - which aims to make the UK a world leader in the way people, goods, and services move now and in the future. Drones are saving lives and removing people from harm, while also increasing productivity and delivering other economic benefits. VISION The Programme aims to rapidly drive progress in drone technology and regulation enabling industry and the public sector to fully exploit the market in areas such as logistics, geomapping, national infrastructure inspections and surveying, and the provision of other commercial and publicsector services. It aims to facilitate organisations' opportunities to contribute to realising this vision by identifying the commonalities between use cases and facilitating live testing of operational concepts. Such vision will be achieved working closely with related UK programmes in order to encourage collaboration and strive for consensus. LOOKING BEYOND THE PATHFINDER PROGRAMME Governance members will work to coordinate research efforts and provide appropriate steering with parallel initiatives beyond the Pathfinder Programme, including the NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) Flying High Challenge, CAA Regulatory Sandbox, Unmanned Traffic Management initiatives, the development of national and international standards, electrification and digitisation initiatives within the Aviation sector, analogous initiatives within the maritime and automotive sectors and ongoing external work streams around the world. BENEFITS OF THE PATHFINDER PROGRAMME TO UK PLC The benefits from any trials under the Programme will read across to a wide range of sectors who may wish to use drones now and in the future. Benefits may include the nurturing of future technologies, development of world-leading specialisms and/or niche manufacturing, thought leadership and other first mover or 'trusted mover' benefits in BVLOS operations. This will ultimately benefit all businesses, big or small, who want to use drones, as our work will play a role in creating a framework and regulations which are accessible to all. In addition to the more easily quantifiable benefits of the Programme, such as efficiency savings and improvements to capabilities/productivity, the Programme will also recognise and aim to deliver a number of societal benefits, for example improving the safety of operations that are usually carried out by placing a person in a dangerous environment, such as on live railway tracks. PROJECT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES The Programme will aim to support project funding by leveraging private sector investment, directing projects towards established Government funding or grant opportunities, and signposting to funding sources from across the UK and internationally. The Programme may also be able to provide support with related funding applications. Previous project funding sources have included private sector innovation funding from sector consortia, as well as part-funding from government-backed sources such as Innovate UK.
