After a strong showing at the recent Military International Drone Racing Tournament, the organisation is planning to launch an indoor winter series that will allow pilots to sharpen their skills as the change in weather restricts their outdoor options.
The sport will be pushed among the Army Cadet Force at demonstrations this month, while the veterans’ community is being targeted as links to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham are explored.
And the association’s sponsorship drive has hit a significant milestone, with the £150,000 mark now reached in their mission to generate a total of £250,000.
“As a category three sport, one of our biggest hurdles is funding,” chair Lt Col Karl Eze (HAC) told SoldierSport.
“This money will allow us to run competitions at grass-roots level throughout the year, get more units involved and deliver low level training.”
