Newsletter Delair – June 2026
Highway safety: DT46 and DT26 drones used for night-time surveillance of the A88 motorway
For the first time in France, in collaboration with A88 operator EGIS and concessionaire ALICORNE, we piloted the use of a long-range inspection drone for night-time monitoring and hazard detection on the A88 (such as wrong-way vehicles, incipient fires, or the presence of people or animals). This marks a significant milestone in the evolution of tools designed to enhance safety for road users and operational teams, as well as the efficiency of highway operations.
The DT46 drone as part of the Gendarmerie’s security arrangements for the G7 summit in Evian.
During the G7 summit in Évian-les-Bains, the DT46 drone was integrated into the event’s security setup, which included smaller drones as well as helicopters and counter-drone systems. Notably, it demonstrated its ability to operate in a challenging environment—characterized by the shores of Lake Geneva, the Chablais terrain, and proximity to the Swiss border and Geneva International Airport—where a large number of aircraft and stakeholders were concentrated in a confined airspace.
