Draganfly has successfully completed deployment and training of its initial Situational Assessment Drones in Ukraine
The Situational Assessment Drones were received by Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, President of RSU, and members of her staff, including pilots, at a facility in Poland on June 10, 2022. The drones were then transported to Ukraine, where the Company’s experienced pilots conducted a thorough virtual training with RSU’s drone operators.
Draganfly has selected AeroVironment’s Quantix™ Mapper hybrid vertical take-off and landing (“VTOL”) drone to serve as the Company’s Situational Assessment Drone. Working with AeroVironment in 2020, the versatile remotely piloted aircraft system (“RPAS”) became the fifth aircraft in Draganfly’s fleet to meet Transport Canada’s safety assurance certification for RPAS advanced flight operations.
“The Situational Assessment Drones are specifically designed to provide crucial and effective visual oversight during active emergency, medical, and disaster response situations,” said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly. “The combination of these drones and our first Medical Response Drone will help RSU safely access hotspots and provide humanitarian aid in major Ukrainian cities.”
“Draganfly’s Situational Assessment and Medical Response Drones are essential for saving lives across Ukraine,” said Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, President of RSU. “Each drone helps us ensure the timely and safe delivery of medical supplies and equipment to communities in need.”
Draganfly also recently announced that DroneAid: Ukraine will be funding five highly specialized Medical Response Drones for RSU.
The latest order builds upon the initial request from Coldchain Delivery Systems for a combination of 10 North American-made Medical Response and Search and Rescue Drones for deployment with RSU. The total initial order size received by Draganfly (subject to conditions) is up to 200 units.
