India’s first live National UAV Test and Innovation Corridor is planned to be launched at Rangeilunda, a repurposed commercial airport designed for real-world drone testing. This major initiative is being undertaken by the state of Odisha to support advanced and dynamic airspace testing for unmanned aerial vehicles. The corridor will facilitate testing of drone technologies such as swarm operations, artificial intelligence-based navigation, and other next-generation UAV capabilities. Developed in collaboration with BonV Aero and aligned with the B-MAAN scheme, the project is expected to play a crucial role in shaping India’s national UAV policy and innovation ecosystem.
