Performance of UAV flights to Isles of Scilly to mainland Cornwall for NHS Logistics

windrers ULTRA无人机平台的开发目标是将100公斤的有效载荷移动到1000公里以上，因此可以为英国现有NHS物流链具有挑战性的社区提供支持。要么是由于岛屿与大陆的交通基础设施分开，要么是由于地势偏远。现有的通往锡利群岛的交通线路不断受到天气（大风和雾/雾）、多变的需求和经济供应的挑战。随着无人机链路的增加，较小的紧急有效载荷可以独立于现有的运输模式，经济而快速地往返于群岛。特别是需要及时将国民保健服务的检测和样本移出群岛，特别是将个人防护装备和药品移至群岛。该项目将支持NHS，并可能挽救生命。

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.
