Aircraft Performance.
A Ground Support Crew member prepares the aircraft by replenishing fuel, oil,, and fitting the mission-specific pod. Readiness of the aircraft will be uploaded to the Operations Centre which will take control of the aircraft and download operational parameters. Ground handling safety will be of the highest priority during the mission preflight.
In the event of a loss of communications, the BD150 will transit to a predetermined location for a safe recovery.

Adaptable Pod for a wide range of missions.
A mission-specific pod will be fitted to the base aircraft. Fitting or changing a pod can be carried out by a ground support crew member who will not be required to hold an engineer license.

Transportability.
The BD150 can be transported using either a custom-built trailer or a long-wheelbase panel van.
Autonomous Control.
Ground Preparation.
Ground Support Staff will prepare the BD150 for flight and ensure ground handling safety protocols are followed.
There should be close liaison between ground support staff and the operations centre.
Control in Flight.
Once the BD150 has been prepared for flight, the Operations Centre will take control of the aircraft until the mission has been completed and aircraft is stationary on the ground.
Changes to mission parameters, waypoints, or routing may be requested via data link or land line by fire crews, rescue coordination centres, and other users. Modifications to the flight profile will be executed exclusively through the Operations Centre, where BVLOS-qualified personnel have access to air traffic data, NOTAMs, and weather information.
In the event of a complete data link failure, the BD150 will autonomously return to a predetermined recovery site using independent onboard systems.”
Our Operating System.
Control of aircraft made by local/remote control centre as they will have full up to date weather, ATC traffic, NOTAMs, etc.
