The Windracers ULTRA UAV platform has been developed to move upto 100 kg of payload over 1,000 km, and can therefore support communities in the UK where existing NHS logistical links are challenging. Either due to islands separated from mainland transport infrastructure or remote locations due to topography.Existing transport links to the Isles of Scilly are constantly challenged by weather (high winds and fog / mists), variable demand and economic supply. With the addition of a UAV link, smaller urgent payloads can be economically and rapidly moved to and from the Isles, independent of existing transport modes. In particular there is a need to move NHS tests and samples off the Isles in a timely manner, and in particular, PPE and pharmaceuticals onto the Isles. This project will support the NHS and potentially save lives.

Windracers ULTRA 无人机平台的开发目的是在 1,000 公里范围内移动高达 100 公斤的有效载荷，因此可以为英国现有 NHS 后勤链路面临挑战的社区提供支持。要么是由于岛屿与大陆交通基础设施分离，要么是由于地形原因位置偏远。通往锡利群岛的现有交通线路不断受到天气（大风和大雾）、需求变化和经济供应的挑战。通过增加无人机链路，可以经济、快速地将较小的紧急有效载荷进出岛屿，而无需依赖现有的运输模式。特别是需要及时将 NHS 测试和样本移出群岛，尤其是个人防护装备和药品移至群岛。该项目将支持 NHS，并有可能挽救生命。
