Since the emergence of Covid-19 in December 2019, China has been at the

forefront of efforts to contain and defeat the virus. They have gained vital &

unique experience in the most effective ways of reducing infection rates. They

now want to support the UK in their fight against Covid-19.

• Offers the ability to provide regular disinfection of virus hotspots where there is a high risk of surface transmission.
• Compared with manual spraying, drone can protect operators from unnecessary exposure to virus and disinfectants.
• A Single XAG drone in a day can disinfect 600,000-700,000 square metres, a task that would normally take 100 workers to complete.
• With the ability to precisely control output, a drone consumes one fifth the disinfectant of traditional approaches such as handheld spraying.

We have exclusive access to XAG Drone Technology and we will be the sole providers outside of China. We currently have access to several hundred units with a lead time of 2-4 weeks.

The full support of Harper Adams University which enables us to offer a base of Operations. From here we will be able to offer Training, Testing and Research Data on a large scale. 

We then plan to deploy UAV Disinfectant Spraying teams to combat COVID-19.

We are extremely keen to seek out collaborations from any Organisation, Professional, Subject Matter Experts, Businesses and Governments across the world to support this Project and save lives.
