Aggity builds Spanish consortium for civilian and military drones

Spanish technology group Aggity is building a drone consortium for civilian and military uses.

It has acquired Bluenest and bought 40% of Cargo Drone Solutions, becoming that company’s main shareholder.

Cargo Drone Solutions has a European certification that allows it to fly heavy-load drones beyond the operator’s line of sight and over populated areas.

Aggity is also in advanced talks to buy a stake in XRF, a Canary Islands startup that uses augmented and virtual reality for crisis management, emergencies and defence.

The three companies’ capabilities will be combined with Aggity’s software to support drone systems for emergencies.

Aggity has won a €14.4 million contract for an autonomous response system involving drones, in a project led by Spain’s Defence Ministry with other ministries and the Military Emergency Unit.

The drones are intended to carry loads of up to 1,500 kilograms, and Aggity is negotiating with manufacturers to produce them in series.
