MissionGO Unmanned Systems<\/a>, a global leader in uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) production and operations, and Airspace Link<\/a>, a leading UAS technology and infrastructure company, teamed up for Michigan\u2019s first real-world cargo delivery operations via UAS. Working in collaboration with Beaumont Health Spectrum Health<\/a> (BHSH), Michigan Economic Development Corporation<\/a> (MEDC), NextEnergy<\/a>, and metropolitan Detroit community leaders, MissionGO and Airspace Link announced today the completion of a successful 10-day flight operation showcasing a real-world UAS transportation program in Southeast Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight operations occurred in two separate locations. The\nfirst was at Taylor Medical Center, simulating UAS synergies at a hospital\ncenter. The second across a one mile stretch of railroad tracks between\nBeaumont Wellness Center and the Big Rock Parking Deck. The second location\nshowcased real-world viable UAS transport through multiple deliveries each day\nof operations and also was used to compare several agents against ground\ntransport such as time, carbon emissions, damage to contents, etc. Once\ncompiled and finalized, the results of this study will be released at a later\ndate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis 10-day operation was just Phase I of what is promising\nto be an incredibly innovative future for Southeast Michigan and for UAS cargo\ndeliveries as a whole,\u201d says Scott Plank, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of\nMissionGO. \u201cThe opportunity to directly compare the effects of ground transport\nto an all-electric UAS transport will certainly open up the conversation on how\nUAS can be used to improve the environment, as well as the local economy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cargo for these flight operations included blood\nsamples, containers of water, and food packages. \u201cA core value of MissionGO is\nsafety,\u201d explains Chris Corgnati, President of MissionGO. \u201cIf we can fly a\nhuman organ and medical supply samples safely, we can easily fly a pizza\ndelivery. The success of these flights proves the viability of many types of\nUAS delivery within a densely populated urban area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, flights were not conducted over non-crew members and the aircraft was kept within visual line of sight (VLOS) at all times. The UAV used during these operations was the MGV100<\/a> \u2013 a sub-55 pound all electric single rotor helicopter going through Type, Production, and Part 135 Certification with the FAA. At the completion of these certifications, the MGV100 aircraft will be cleared by the FAA to operate overpopulated areas and eventually eligible for flying beyond visual line of sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs an FAA approved USS (UAS Service Supplier) it\u2019s our role\nto support the industry and companies like MissionGO with the technology, data,\nand services they need to safely conduct their missions. Our AirHub platform is\nfully integrated with the FAA and State and Local Government agencies to\nprovide the most up to date, authoritative data to pilots to increase\nsituational awareness on the ground and in the air,\u201d said Michael Healander,\nCo-Founder & CEO of Airspace Link.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teamwork is critical to the success of the uncrewed industry\nand necessary to continue moving forward. This operation brought together\npilots, community leaders, healthcare professionals, delivery teams,\nlegislators, and geospatial solutions and success is celebrated by all.\nMissionGO looks forward to partnering on future real-world operations and\nshowcasing the capabilities of uncrewed aircraft systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
