Dubai Police sets new Guinness record for fastest drone in the world

Dubai Police has etched its name in the annals of technological innovation by setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest drone ever developed. The unmanned aerial vehicle, crafted at the Dubai Police Unmanned Aerial Systems Center, achieved a staggering top speed of 580 kilometers per hour. This remarkable feat was accomplished in collaboration with South African developers Luke Bell and Mike Bell, who previously held the record with their Peregreen 2 drone, which peaked at 510 km/h in June 2024. The newly unveiled Peregreen 3, a battery-powered remote-controlled quadcopter, now officially holds the title for the ‘fastest ground speed by a battery-powered RC quadcopter.’ The record-breaking flights were conducted at Al Qudra in Dubai, where the drone completed two runs in opposite directions to neutralize any wind advantage. Dubai Police emphasized that this achievement underscores their commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to bolster security, enhance rapid response capabilities, and ensure operational readiness. The milestone aligns with Dubai’s broader vision of fostering innovation and integrating smart systems into public safety frameworks.
