![]() ![]() The parachute was designed by its namesake company, a Canadian aerospace company focused on building parachute recovery systems for commercial drones and precision delivery systems for last mile delivery, both for commercial off-the-shelf drones and OEM solutions for commercial drone manufacturers.Īnd the latest company to embrace drone parachutes - and more specifically the AVSS parachute recovery system - is Workhorse, an Ohio-based tech company known for its American-made Horsefly drone. It’s designed for drones so that - in the event of a mid-air drone malfunction - the system will automatically cut power to the drone, deploy its parachute, and allow the drone to descend slowly from the sky, theoretically decreases the potential of harm to people or property on the ground and reduces the risk of damage to the drone itself. With the launching of pilot training programs and FAA operation certifications, the timeline for these technologies being introduced could be only months, rather than years.Enter the Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS) parachute recovery system. Further, this partnership clearly indicates widespread commercial applications of UAV technologies are closer than we think. Why it matters: The development of a multi-mode delivery system (including UAV) will ultimately offer better healthcare services for customers around the globe. With Workhorse and its HorseFly ™ system, we believe we’ll be able to save more lives through the secure and timely delivery of medical assets via unmanned systems.” Our role in the chain of custody, when delivering or moving any medical cargo, is for our customers to be the number one priority. Going forward, we will look to expand our work with innovative companies in one of the largest medical markets in the U.S. “Workhorse has already delivered a complete system to us, and we are well-positioned to take advantage the FAA IPP program in the near term. “This partnership represents a game-changing opportunity the broader medical field, which could set a new standard for more effective and timely patient treatment options empowered by drone logistics,” added USOG CEO Pharns Genece. patented truck drone-launched system, we believe we are in an excellent position to take share in a number of nascent delivery markets.” While we recognize the immediate benefits of utilizing our technology in such a vital application, we’re also excited about the possibilities these types of deliveries can represent across a variety of industries and use cases on a much larger scale. “We look forward to working closely with USOG as well as with the FAA and other key stakeholders on safe, secure, and timely deliveries in addition to maintaining patient privacy. “USOG’s vision is to enable nationwide medical deliveries by UAV, and we couldn’t think of a better application for our HorseFly system,” said Workhorse CEO Duane Hughes. The app will real-time information such as the package’s location, vehicle status, and onboard video. USOG will offer the personal necessary to monitor multiple UAV flights while customers will be able to track the real-time delivery through an app. The system is completely custom built and uses a high-efficiency UAV. ![]() HorseFly is a fully integrated delivery system that interfaces with the company’s NGEN electric delivery vehciles.
