Urban Ray has secured SAIL II (low risk) operational approval from the German Federal Aviation Office to conduct beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flights for its delivery drones on three designated routes near Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia.
This approval allows Urban Ray to test its flying couriers over extended distances and in more complex environments. By operating BVLOS, the company can gather data and experience under real-world conditions. The BVLOS flights will also allow the company to fully test the interaction of its drones with its ground station.
Urban Ray aims to provide parcel deliveries, starting with the healthcare sector, using aerial robotics and lockers.
