Heavy-lift drones deployable for emergency situations

In collaboration with CNTRL, we carried out a demonstration at the Infra Capacity Alliance (ICA). During this demonstration, we showed how effectively a heavy-lift drone can be deployed in emergency situations in the Netherlands. In this case, the focus was on transporting sandbags to flood defenses in hard-to-reach areas, such as marshlands or locations that were already partially flooded.

Efficient transport in challenging times

Accessibility during emergencies is often limited; with a heavy-lift drone, this challenge can already be overcome. Flood defenses are critical elements of our infrastructure and must remain protected and reachable. Today, this is still done using trucks, but what happens when the roads are no longer passable?

Advantages of our heavy-lift drone:

  • Access to flooded locations
  • Rapid deployment during emergencies
  • No additional risk to personnel

Heavy-lift drones in crisis management

The demonstration at ICA clearly showed how broadly deployable a heavy-lift drone can be, even in times of crisis. From supplying sandbags during imminent flooding to delivering emergency goods.

Act quickly with a clear plan

Share the location, the type of goods and the required time window. We will assess what is practically possible and how the deployment can be carried out safely.
