Drone logistics company Swoop Aero and drone safety technology firm Iris Automation are joining forces to offer safety-focused beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone delivery solutions to clients across the globe.
The announcement comes in the wake of Swoop Aero’s recent unveiling of a new aircraft, Kite.
