Marshall Aerospace, the UK aircraft modifications specialist, is diversifying into advanced air mobility by offering its expertise in complex engineering projects and managing both assets and services. The Cambridge-based group’s new Futureworx recently launched an autonomous vehicles operations partnership with drone manufacturer ISS Aerospace and software company Sees.ai in what it views as an expansion that could soon lead to further initiatives in areas such as hydrogen propulsion.

The venture will involve Marshall and its partners offering drone technology and services to industries such as offshore renewable energy, defense, and security operations, and the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Sees.ai will be integrating its autonomous navigation and command and control software to support beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations with ISS Aerospace’s drones.
