FAQs

Here's some quick answers to help you understand our asset inspections better.

What regulatory approvals are required for BVLOS operation?

BVLOS operations, like HHLA Sky, require operational authorisation from the appropriate aviation authority, such as the UK Civil Aviation Authority. This approval covers aircraft specifications, operating areas and mission requirements. Additional certifications may be needed for specialised operations, including dangerous goods approval for hazardous materials or airspace modification requests for restricted zones.

How does the Control Centre integrate with existing business systems?

The HHLA Sky Integrated Control Centre connects seamlessly with your current operational infrastructure through flexible, horizontally integrated, open-system architecture. This compatibility extends across multiple drone manufacturers, control systems and IoT devices, allowing you to maximise existing equipment investments while expanding operational capabilities. The platform also synchronises with your established IT systems, creating streamlined workflows that unlock the complete potential of automated drone fleet management.

How many drones can be operated simultaneously?

The Integrated Control Centre can support unlimited simultaneous drone operations across multiple global locations, with the capability to manage unlimited autonomous UAVs from a single point.

What type of missions can be coordinated through the Integrated Control Centre?

The Integrated Control Centre supports diverse use cases across industrial, commercial and operational requirements, enabling coordinated surveillance, asset inspection, monitoring, delivery and data collection missions. It’s important to note, these applications are not limited to these examples and can be customised to suit your specific operational needs.

What training is required for the implementation of the HHLA Sky system?

Implementing the HHLA Sky system requires training in drone piloting with certification and mobile robot operating, along with the Integrated Control Centre software operations and cybersecurity protocols including IEC 62443 standards.

Vantage UAV and HHLA Sky provide comprehensive training support throughout the initial stages, ensuring your team achieves complete system understanding and operational competency before final handover. Ongoing guidance and support remain available throughout the lifetime of your systems deployment.
