Air Mobility: Eastern Germany’s Drone Zone

The German market for drones is exploding, and Kamenz in Saxony is getting in on the act. Together with international scientific institutions, universities and companies, the eastern German city has founded an “expertise center for autonomous and electronic flight.”

A budget of EUR 1.3 million has been allocated to construct a hangar, where autonomous and electric air vehicles can be designed and constructed. The focus will include electric battery and hydrogen technology, swarm applications, and data transfer and security.
