Medical drone delivery: IATA Dangerous Goods Cat 6 training successfully completed.
The Drone Office is involved in several research projects focusing on medical drone delivery solutions.
Exchanges with medical practitioners and teams at partnering hospitals highlighted that many user cases for the use of drones or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) involve the transport of dangerous goods:
• Infectious substances, such as blood samples sent for analysis to the lab
• Toxic substances, such as certain medicines, for example some cancer treatments
• Flammable gas, or lithium batteries embedded in medical equipment.
As a result, the scaling up of logistic services by drones to serve the healthcare industry requires compliance of operations with relevant regulations for the transport of dangerous goods by air.

U-Space to become law in Europe in 2023. Enabler of complex UAS missions like medical drone delivery

The U-Space regulatory package was approved by EASA members and is on the agenda for approval by the European Commission in April.

The U-Space framework intends to create the conditions for manned and unmanned aircraft to operate safely in controlled and uncontrolled airspace where U-Services will be provided. The ultimate objective is to prevent collisions between manned and unmanned aircraft and mitigate the air and ground risks.
