Feasibility Study of Unmanned Aerial Systems for Health Service Delivery and Emergency Planning and Response
EF 2025-26 · 2025-08-15
Résumé
This project is a feasibility study as the first phase of the UAV medical supply delivery logistics initiative in partnership with Island Health. This project will focus on defining operational and regulatory requirements to strengthen the foundation for a full-scale implementation. It will also improve the readiness for commercialization by aligning the UAV and Smart Payload technologies with real-world logistics needs (and define operational mission profiles) for emerging Canadian BVLOS & ISO standards.

Description (French)
Ce projet est une étude de faisabilité qui constitue la première phase de l’initiative de logistique de livraison de fournitures médicales par drone en partenariat avec Island Health. Ce projet se concentrera sur la définition des exigences opérationnelles et réglementaires afin de renforcer les bases d’une mise en œuvre à grande échelle. Il améliorera également l’état de préparation à la commercialisation en alignant les technologies de drones et de charge utile intelligente sur les besoins logistiques réels (et en définissant des profils de mission opérationnels) pour les nouvelles normes canadiennes BVLOS et ISO.
