In order to become one of the main civil UAV Test Sites of Europe we are continuously improving the CTC facilities. This month we have just prepared a new unpaved runway that has been precisely levelled. All rocks has been removed and thick grass has been seed so all types of UAVs can take advantage of a flat and soft surface. This will allow fixed-wing systems with both landing skate or gear to perfectly operate on the UAV Test Site.
