Drones could be used in Singapore to provide vital medical supplies to a patient in case of emergency or to respond to a security breach under a new system being developed, announced Tuesday a private consortium. Consortium, a group of 13 members, said that he had been chosen by the authority of the country's civil aviation and transport ministry to develop the drone program.
Its use could include transporting blood samples, The city of Singapore, with a population of 5.6 million, is ultramodern, well-ordered and strictly regulated – factors considered to improve the chances of working the system
. the drones would be operated remotely by pilots in an operations center and would be able to travel relatively long distances across the city-state.
This contrasts with their recreational counterparts – whose use is permitted in Singapore – who can only travel short distances and are visible to their operators at all times.
The consortium said it would generate flight paths for drones, and develop a private communications network as well as take-off and landing sites.
"Our goal is to enable any company that needs to fly drones (beyond the visual sight of pilots) in Singapore to do so safely and efficiently," said Ong Jiin Joo, director of Future Flight project.
The consortium gave a two-year timeline for the development of the system and committed to rigorous security testing
The Singapore Civil Defense Force – which manages the city's emergency services -State – and consortium member Garuda Robotics said that they were in talks to use drones in force operations, particularly to deliver "vital supplies".
A hospital operator of the consortium said that he planned to use drones to transport blood samples and samples. hospitals and the central laboratory, while a security company said that it will use the devices to respond to security incidents and fire alarms.
