Drones

Toulouse wants to be a “pilot” in the field of drones, both in terms of design and manufacturing activities, but also in terms of uses, with the VILAGIL project, for example, which thinks of our tomorrow.

Drone's network in Toulouse

Engineering schools experiment all kind of projects

For example ENAC (national airline pilot training center) has its own drone test zone equipped with high tech instruments.
The ONERA - the French national laboratory for Aerospace experimentation - has a whole department focused on researches on drone technology and solutions.
Additionnal institutions work on this field: the IMFT institute (institut de mécanique et de Fluide de Toulouse), the CNRM-GAME, the MAV (Micro Air Vehicules) Research Center, the DroneLab from Artilect.

Toulouse, une ville experte sur l'ensemble des transports

All kind of transportations in Toulouse

Toulouse through its expertise on other transportation means benefits from skilled people to work on airworthiness, UTM from ATM, geo-positioning accommodation of payload, auto-pilot, embedded systems, security protocols, etc...

L'ancien aéroport militaire en reconversion Francazal

Experimentation zone in Toulouse

The former airport military airport Francazal has been tranformed into an experimentation zone, where all kind of new transportation is tested: HyperloopTT, Easymiles, and drones.

The Robotics Place cluster gathers 78 members: companies, laboratories and universities, to develop solutions for upcoming challenges.
Launched in 2012, the Robotics Place cluster is the 1^st in France contributing to the development of the sector in France and abroad.
This cluster belongs to the FFCR - Fédération Française des Clusters de la Robotique.
