Clarion Drone Academy Inc. new EVLOS testing facility

2019 was another amazing year for us at Clarion Drone Academy.

We saw a year filled with new clients and travelled to new countries to share our experience and expertise.   South America, Africa and the United States of America were top of our list this year and continue to be a hot bed of activity and we look forward continuing our work there.  

Not to be outdone, Canada has seen its share of exciting new drone companies and Clarion is proud to be working with two up and coming startups from southern Ontario.  We can hardly wait to share more of that news in the new year.   2020 has great things planned for us including a new EVLOS (Extended Visual Line of Sight) testing grounds with over 1000 acres of private land to test and fly your aircraft.  This new proving grounds is based only a few hours north of Toronto and has built in drone testing facilities in addition to being one of the only places in Ontario where RPAS flights are conducted with EVLOS.

Clarion's training programs and expertise in creating custom programs for their clients has seen an increase this past year from new upstarts and developed RPAS companies seeking help in developing their training programs .  In our experience, Engineers enjoy developing new technology and making existing ones better.  We enhance their work by removing the client training side to allow them to continue to create and develop.

This is why it was imperative to develop the Clarion EVLOS training facility to allow companies to test their technology and also be able to demonstrate in a closed and private setting to investors and government clients alike. 

We welcome all inquiries and look forward to the expansive growth this new facility has to offer the RPAS community.
