Skyfarer - enabling drone powered medical logistics in the UK

拟议中的Skyfeller项目将使英国物流无人机解决方案的采用更接近现实，为这项技术在国内外的商业可行性铺平道路。通过在沃里克/考文垂地区创建一条飞行测试走廊，该项目将创造历史，在人口稠密的郊区环境中，在未分隔的空域内提供英国第一架基于无人机的医疗服务，预示着航空航天创新的新时代，在短期和长期为我们所有人提供积极的持久影响。通过建立这条飞行测试走廊，我们将在郊区环境中测试具有探测和避免能力的自动超视距(BVLOS)无人机技术，为获得CAA批准提供可持续的蓝图，并为无人机在英国开始商业交付铺平道路。在此项目中创建的获得CAA批准的框架将使我们和我们的合作伙伴能够开始实施我们的愿景，即由无人机驱动的更智能供应链-实现经济高效的共享医院库存、基本用品的即时(JIT)递送、更快的血液、样本到实验室、疫苗和药品递送。在此过程中，该项目还将允许最终开发和实施Skyfeller生态系统和服务平台，该平台通过提供将所有不同系统整合为一个系统(包括无人机)的交钥匙服务，促进采用无人机进行物流作业，同时还绕过目前阻碍无人机交付的立法障碍。

The proposed Skyfarer project will move the adoption of drone solutions for logistics in the UK one step closer to reality, paving the way for this technology to be commercially viable, at home and abroad.Through the creation of a flight testing corridor in the Warwick/Coventry region, the project will make history by providing the UK's 1st drone based medical deliveries in a populated suburban environment within unsegregated airspace, heralding a new age of aerospace innovation that provides positive lasting impacts for us all in the short and long term.By setting up this flight testing corridor, we will enable testing of autonomous beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone technology with detect and avoid capabilities in a suburban setting, providing a sustainable blueprint for gaining CAA approval and paving the way for commercial deliveries by drones to begin in the UK.The framework for gaining CAA approval created in this project will allow us and our partners to begin implementing our vision of smarter supply chains powered by drones - enabling cost effective shared hospital inventories, Just In Time (JIT) deliveries of essential supplies, faster blood, sample-to-lab, vaccine and medicine deliveries.In the process, the project will also allow for final development and implementation of the Skyfarer eco-system and service platform, which facilitates the adoption of drones for logistics operations by providing a turn-key service that integrates all of the different systems into one (including the drones), while also navigating around the legislative barriers currently preventing drone based deliveries.
