DRONE ZONE
Live Demonstrations.
Real-World Capability.
Stadium-Scale Impact.
The Drone Zone is Global Drone®’s live demonstration arena, transforming the Cbus Super Stadium playing field into a showcase of autonomous capability. Across three days, up to 120 aerial, terrestrial and remotely presented aquatic demonstrations will bring drones, robotics and autonomous systems off the page and into action.
Watch machines fly, move, respond, inspect, map and operate in a controlled live environment.
Because the best way to understand what this technology can do is to see it do it.
REAL-WORLD DEMONSTRATIONS
What is the Drone Zone?
The Drone Zone is Global Drone®’s live demonstration arena on the Cbus Super Stadium playing field. Across three days, 120 aerial, terrestrial and aquatic drone demonstrations bring the technology off the page and into the air.
Global Drone® is the only event globally to cover the full UAS spectrum — aerial, terrestrial and aquatic — alongside robotics and AI.

Live Demonstrations
The Full Spectrum of Autonomous Systems
Global Drone is the only event of its kind bringing the full UAS spectrum together:
Aerial
See uncrewed aircraft and drone systems demonstrate applications across inspection, mapping, surveillance, emergency response, logistics, agriculture and more.
Terrestrial
Watch ground-based robots and autonomous vehicles navigate, inspect, transport and respond.
Aquatic
Explore marine and underwater autonomous systems supporting research, inspection, environmental monitoring, defence and ocean industries, including demonstrations presented through the stadium’s live screens where appropriate.
Robotics & AI
Discover how sensors, automation, machine learning and intelligent software allow systems to analyse environments, make decisions and complete complex tasks.
SAFE. CONTROLLED. PROFESSIONAL.
Delivered with Safety at the Centre
Drone Zone demonstrations are delivered within the required regulatory, operational and safety frameworks, supported by specialist operators, approved flight controls and managed exclusion zones.
Demonstrations are scheduled across all three event days and are subject to final operational, safety and weather requirements.
