DroneControl Joins ARPAS UK: Strengthening Our Commitment to the UK Drone Community

We’re pleased to announce that DroneControl has officially joined ARPAS UK, the UK’s leading drone and RPAS industry association.

This marks an important step in our continued expansion and reinforces the UK as a key strategic market for DroneControl.

Why the UK Matters

The UK has long been at the forefront of drone adoption across public safety, infrastructure, and commercial operations. With a strong regulatory framework and an active, collaborative ecosystem, it represents one of the most mature and forward-thinking drone markets globally.

For DroneControl, this aligns perfectly with our mission:to provide a secure, compliant, and operationally powerful software platform that enables organisations to manage and scale their drone operations with confidence.

Joining ARPAS UK allows us to play a more active role in shaping this ecosystem and supporting its continued growth.

Aligning with ARPAS UK’s Mission

ARPAS UK plays a critical role in:

• Promoting safe and responsible drone operations

• Supporting professional operators and organisations

• Engaging with regulators and policymakers

• Driving awareness and adoption of drone technology across industries

These focus areas strongly align with DroneControl’s own philosophy.

Our platform is built around two core pillars:

• Compliance & Organisation – ensuring teams operate within regulatory frameworks, with full traceability and accountability

• Live Operations – enabling real-time situational awareness through secure, low-latency streaming and operational coordination

Together with ARPAS UK, we see a clear opportunity to bridge the gap between regulation and real-world operations, helping organisations not only stay compliant, but operate more effectively in the field.

Supporting the Community with DroneControl

As part of our membership, we’re excited to actively engage with ARPAS UK members and contribute to the community.

DroneControl is built to support the full lifecycle of drone operations—from planning and compliance through to live mission execution and post-flight management.

On the compliance, organisation, and fleet management side, our platform enables organisations to:

• Maintain structured oversight of pilots, teams, and operations

• Automatically capture and store flight logs for regulatory compliance

• Manage aircraft, batteries, and payloads with inspection and maintenance scheduling

• Ensure full traceability and accountability across all missions

At the same time, DroneControl brings powerful live operational capabilities, including:

• Secure, low-latency live streaming to multiple stakeholders

• Real-time situational awareness with shared positioning and mapping

• Improved coordination between pilots and ground teams

• Reduced reliance on fragmented communication methods such as radio

By combining these two elements into a single platform, we help organisations move beyond disconnected tools and workflows—enabling them to operate in a way that is both fully compliant and operationally effective.

We’re looking forward to working closely with ARPAS UK members to explore how this integrated approach can support a wide range of use cases—from public safety and emergency response to infrastructure and commercial operations.

Looking Ahead

Joining ARPAS UK is more than just a membership—it’s a commitment.

A commitment to:

• Engage with the UK drone community

• Support operators with practical, real-world solutions

• Contribute to ongoing discussions around regulation and best practice

• Help drive the next phase of drone adoption across the UK

We’re excited to collaborate, learn, and share with fellow members—and to play our part in advancing the industry together.
