Herotech8 Limited is providing Open Air Drone Services under the contract QU-0109 to the buyer associated with UWE (University of the West of England), running until December 2024, for a value of GBP 30,000. The procurement involves on-demand automated drone operations using their 'drone-in-a-box' technology, enabling services such as inspections, surveillance, and data collection without on-site pilots.
