The project was supported by technical support from castilla la mancha university.High government and eu fundingThis project not only get castilla la mancha university technical support, also for Spanish economy industrial competition and at the same time the European regional development funds, worth 648510 euros, equivalent to about 5022126 yuan.Ingeteam is expected to make its first drone test mission next year.
