A three-year research project to research and test drone technology for the transport of medical supplies in Germany has successfully concluded.
The EULE project has been focused on networking hospitals, laboratories and pharmaceutical wholesalers in the Rhineland area through the use of uncrewed aerial systems in order to improve medical care in cities and rural regions and to support the smart networking of medical logistics processes.
Together with RWTH Aachen University, Droniq investigated how its U-Space services can contribute to the safe integration of drone flights. These include tracking functions and the provision of real-time traffic information. The focus during the EULE project was on the direct integration of drones into airspace.
Droniq said the results of EULE demonstrate that UAS can be smoothly and safely integrated into existing air traffic for medical transport flights.
Project partners included the Institute of Flight System Dynamics, RWTH Aachen (consortium leader), flyXdrive GmbH, FH Aachen University of Applied Sciences, University Hospital RWTH Aachen, City of Aachen, Docs in Clouds TeleCare GmbH and Vodafone.
