Evaluation of Public Dialogue on Drones in the UK

The UK Ministry of Defence, in collaboration with the Department for Transport and Sciencewise, has contracted White Ox Ltd for GBP 19,200 to evaluate a public dialogue project on the use of drones (remotely piloted aircraft systems) in the UK. This evaluation assesses public perceptions, concerns, and understanding regarding safety, security, privacy, data protection, and accountability related to drones in UK airspace, including military use within the UK. The purpose is to inform UK Government strategy, future public consultations, and policy development on drone usage, stemming from a 2015 ministerial announcement.
