The Toulouse Occitanie Drone Flight Area is a means of experimentation for micro-drones which is unique in Europe, designed as a specialised laboratory for research on drones and embedded systems and shared by the ENAC, companies in Toulouse, and the ENAC’s French and international partners in industry and academia.

The Drone Flight Area of Toulouse Occitanie is for carrying out large scale simulations that combine the physical world (the reality of flight) with the virtual world (air traffic and drone simulators). It aims to facilitate the development of next generation onboard auto-pilots, more secure drones with longer autonomy, and to unlock the science involved in the fusion of multi-sensor data and robust control.The Drone Flight Area offers an indoor flying space for large drones.

It is equipped with high-precision localisation and measuring instruments for rigorously measuring, monitoring, and analysing experimental conditions and results in an environment which allows for accurate replication of experimental conditions.
