Drone highways in the sky are not a futuristic fantasy anymore. They’re being readied at the second campus of the
Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Challakere, Chitradurga district, 230 km from Bengaluru.
The highways will be exclusive corridors for testing and flying both
military and commercial drones.
Around 1373 acres of land for this corridor has been earmarked and it will have drone ports too.
“A massive drone corridor will be coming up in about 1373 acres of land at the campus where testing and flying of both military and commercial drones would be carried out in the future. Equipped with drone ports and air corridor systems, autonomous flying machines of all sizes including combat ones will be tested here,” Raejus Job a DGCA- NTRO, Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems instructor told Bangalore Mirror.
