Unmanned Air Systems: Procurement
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, from when will Protector be certified to operate in Class A to C airspace.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
As a military registered air system, Protector RG Mk1 only requires certification by the Military Aviation Authority, who issued the Military Type Certificate for the air system in April 2025. Protector is already capable of operating in Class A and C airspace in the UK and the MOD continues to work closely with the CAA and international authorities to integrate Protector globally.
