Inter Drone Expo

INTER DRONE EXPO brings together components of air mobility, electromobility, smart cities, digitalization and cybersecurity, unmanned systems, the use of geospatial information systems and other technologies in the presented sectors.

The format aims to show the latest products and technologies, as well as to emphasize on the progress, trends and sustainability in the sector.

INTER DRONE EXPO’s first edition in 2022 presented more than 90 companies, research institutes, associations and clubs, all associated with remote controlled systems and robots, attracting more than 4 000 visitors.

THE EXPERT FORUM focused on key topics of the sector:
> urban and regional aviation mobility, regulatory framework, agricultural activities
> emergency medical supplies and courier services
> U-space drone air traffic management, security and defense, etc.

The forum gathered a professional audience from government institutions and interested business professionals.

FOUR DAYS OF DEMONSTRATIONS AND COMPETITIONS ON DIFFERENT TRACKS:
> FPV drone racing with standard obstacles under BFA rules (luminous) on an indoor track (area of 1,300 sq.m)
> Drift demonstrations and drift track race with radio-controlled cars
> 1:10 scale electric model race
> On-road track: race with 1:10 models with electric motors powered by a hydrogen cell
> Demo starts on track 1:28 – on-road climbers
> Crawler track: demo race with climbers, 1:12-1:10 models

Responding to the rapidly developing technologies in the field, this year the exhibition focuses on urban air mobility, smart, cities and electromobility, the use of unmanned systems for collecting information and analysis, for monitoring sites in the energy sector, insurance, mining, automation of ground syrveying research, and last but not least – their use in disasters and rescue operations, as well as in support of HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service).
