Can security drones operate BVLOS in the UK?
Yes, security drones can operate Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) in the UK, but only with the appropriate CAA permissions and operational authorisation.
BVLOS operations are typically used for large perimeter patrols or dock-based deployments and require structured risk assessments, procedures, and trained operators.
Approval to operate BVLOS is required through UK SORA. Heliguy has a team of in-house regulatory specialists who can help you secure permissions for BVLOS drone security operations. Contact us for more details.
