MedizDroid项目的目标是研究空中平台（无人机、无人机、微型飞行器、无人机、多直升机和多旋翼）（简称疟疾蚊子控制无人机）的经济且可持续的使用，以控制和抑制蚊子病媒。蚊子是包括疟疾、基孔肯雅热、登革热、淋巴丝虫病（象皮病）、西尼罗河病毒病和黄热病在内的几种疾病的媒介。因此，对于每一种传染病，病媒控制是综合疾病管理的一个非常重要的方面。目前控制蚊子的方法包括使用：a）纱窗; B）驱避剂; c）杀虫剂处理过的蚊帐（长效驱虫蚊帐、经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐、国际驱虫蚊帐）; d）室内滞留喷洒; e）室外滞留喷洒：处理栖息地; f）幼虫源管理：处理繁殖地和水体;杀幼虫;使用生物控制; g）超低量空间喷洒：空中喷洒;地面车载喷洒; h）外部环境和生境管理、改造和操纵。该项目的重点是IRS，ORS，LSM（以及后来的EHM*）的自动化，以开发可负担得起的和可持续的无人机系统，可以部署在疟疾流行的撒哈拉以南非洲和其他地方。目前最现实的背负式喷洒方法有许多具有挑战性的问题。目前，该项目正处于指定、模拟和原型设计子系统的阶段：使用混合动力的重型和长航时无人机;复合和寄生无人机;电子可控矢量控制有效载荷;以及结构化软件平台和架构。
The goal of the MedizDroid Project is to research the affordable and sustainable use of aerial platforms (UAV, UAS, MAVs, drones, multi-copters and multi-rotors), briefly malaria mosquito control drones, for mosquito vector control and suppression. Mosquitoes are vectors for several diseases including malaria, Chikungunya, dengue fever, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), West Nile virus disease, and yellow fever. Therefore, for each infectious disease, a very important aspect of integrated disease management is vector control. Current methods of mosquito control include using: a) Screens; b) Repellents; c) Insecticide treated bed nets (LLINs, ITNs, INs); d) Indoor residual spraying (IRS); e) Outdoor residual spraying (ORS): treatment of resting sites; f) Larval source management (LSM):treatment of breeding sites and water bodies; larviciding (LC); using biological controls (BC); g) Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) space spraying: aerial spraying; ground vehicle mounted spraying; h) External environment & habitat management, modification and manipulation (EHM*). The focus of the Project is the automation of IRS, ORS, LSM (and later EHM*), in developing affordable and sustainable drone-based systems that can be deployed in malaria endemic sub-Saharan Africa and elsewhere. The current most realistic method of backpack spraying has many challenging issues. Currently the Project is at the stage of specifying, simulating and prototyping subsystems: heavy lift and long endurance UAVs using hybrid power; composite and parasite drones; electronically controllable vector control payloads; and structured software platforms and architectures.
