Drones could be used in Singapore to provide vital medical supplies to a patient in an emergency or to respond to a fault with a new system under development. private consortium said Tuesday.
Future Flight 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 the transport of blood samples
Tiny Singapore, with a population of 5.6 million inhabitants, is ultra-modern, well-ordered and strictly regulated, factors considered as improving the chances of working the system.
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 still visible to their operators.
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 drive 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 timeframe for the development of the system and undertook to conduct rigorous safety tests
The Singapore Civil Defense Force – which manages the city's emergency services – and Garuda Robotics They said that they were in talks to use drones in force operations, especially to deliver "vital supplies".
A hospital operator of the consortium said that he planned to use drones to transport blood samples and samples between his hospitals. central laboratory, while a security firm said that it will use the devices to respond to security incidents and fire alarms.
