with [UK industry voice / ARPAS contact], UK UAS industry
Where the UK drone industry actually is on sovereign hardware, what the realistic timeline looks like, and what police, infrastructure and military buyers need to plan for in the meantime.

with TBC, COO, iDrone Innovations
The honest engineering retrospective. What worked first time, what required three iterations, and what we learned about building docking stations that work at 3am in a downpour.
