The Project

Together with ADAC Luftrettung, we developed a fully autonomous logistics drone for the highly efficient transport of blood products. Its foundation was our Cargo Robot platform, which was extended by the project partner to include special features for flight safety and load security.

Departure of the pre-programmed waypoint route with permanent intervention option

The logistics system consists of drone, ground control station, ready-made IT interfaces and process flows

Extremely wind-stable up to wind speeds of 10 m/s

Ultra-compact, foldable carbon design

100% data security through stand-alone concept

Equipped with our genuine triple redundant flight control - Made in Germany

AIRSENSE

Air situation display and UTM at new levels of performance

Collision avoidance in the airspace between manned and unmanned aviation is becoming increasingly important. For drones beyond the visual line of sight, we have therefore developed AirSense, a high-performance system for effective detect and avoid (DAA).

Detection of ADS-B transponder and FLARM signals of manned aircraft

Automatic airspace analysis with warning of critical approaches

Fail-safe processing of airspace data on a high-performance redundant server

Stand alone system or full integration into the Multirotor Ground Control Station (GCS)

Optional RTK - base station for the provision of correction data

DAA for drone logistics

AirSense can be booked stand alone as a DAA solution via direct access (laptop or smart device), but is also fully compatible with the Multirotor Ground Control Station (GCS).

One screen, more overview

Customers operating a multirotor drone with the latest, triple-redundant flight control generation beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) receive the current air situation image of the environment directly in the live image of the GCS. This eliminates the need to operate a separate DAA solution with an additional screen, as is currently necessary when integrating third-party products.

Optional RTK

Its antenna module receives transponder signals and forwards them to the AirSense server via a mobile data connection. However, it can also be used as a base station to provide correction data. This enables the positional accuracy of the multirotor drone to within a few mm, which again opens up new possibilities, especially for fully autonomous landing.

Optional RTK

Fast data acquisition

Flight paths of individual aircraft are traced over the last known positions, as well as identifier, flight altitude and type of air traffic (helicopter, aircraft or drone) are displayed.
