“At a time when the requirements for UAVs are also increasing, we wanted to provide our customers with the knowledge that what they are buying is of the highest quality possible. This accreditation not only proves that we are succeeding, but importantly that the UAS industry recognises the need to increase best practice throughout. As innovators involved in breakthrough Research & Development, it is gratifying to be acknowledged as pioneers in setting the benchmark for UAS design and production quality systems and processes.”
