What test facilities does Unmanned Valley offer?
Unmanned Valley offers a range of possibilities for developing, testing and demonstrating sensor-based innovations such as drones, unmanned vehicles and energy kites. Both inside (in the 2000 m2 multi-use Indoor Drone Centre “Hangar 1”) and outside (outdoor area and flightbox). A corridor to the sea will make BVLOS flying possible (over land and sea). Building 356 houses a maker space with basic equipment for maintenance and carrying out minor modifications.
Unmanned Valley is unique in that it lies outside the controlled area (CTR) of active airports, and has its own airport regulation and airport manager. Flights can take place both during the day and at night, and there is virtually no limit to the number of times it is possible to fly.
Test slots can be booked through this website of the Dutch Central Government Real Estate Agency . Partners of Unmanned Valley can also take out a trial subscription.
