TORONTO, March 8,
2023 /CNW/ - Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (TSXV: FLT)
(OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: A3DP5Y
or ABBA.F) (the "Company" or "DDC") is pleased to announce that it
has purchased from Canadian UAVs the first Sparrowhawk™ radar
ground based detect and avoid system for deployment on DDC's Care
by Air delivery route. Sparrowhawk has been previously approved by
Transport Canada to support beyond visual line of sight ("BVLOS")
operations.
The Care by Air route utilizes DDC's patented drone delivery
solution and runs from the logistics facility of DSV Air & Sea
Inc. Canada (DSV) in Milton, Ontario to the Oakville Trafalgar
Memorial Hospital, for the purpose of delivering medical
isotopes.
DDC has integrated Sparrowhawk at the DSV facility in
Milton to support the Care by Air
route initially, with plans to expand the use of Sparrowhawk to
additional delivery routes in the future. Sparrowhawk has also been
integrated into DDC's proprietary FLYTE software, which will allow
for all operations to be conducted in accordance with the Canadian
Aviation Regulations and Transport Canada flight authorizations.
Flights will continue to be remotely monitored by DDC from its
Operations Control Centre located in Vaughan, Ontario.
DDC plans to work with Canadian UAVs and Transport Canada to
obtain BVLOS approval for the Care by Air route initially and then
seek to expand the approval to cover the entire range of the
Sparrowhawk to support multiple routes developed in partnership
with DSV and Air Canada.
"We are continually looking to partner with leaders in the UAV
industry and as such we are excited to work with Canadian UAVs and
their Sparrowhawk system. Canadian UAVs are recognized as a leader
in this space, and we look forward to leveraging their technology
on the Care by Air route initially and then potentially expanding
to other routes in the future." said Steve
Magirias, CEO of DDC.
"From a single Sparrowhawk Radar, over 650km2 become
available for coordinated drone operations. As our premier launch
customer, DDC has wisely applied this technology for drone
delivery, opening the possibility for wide area urban package
delivery. This is an exciting time for our industry and for
Canada." said John Molberg, VP Innovation of Canadian UAVs
