Platform for rescue flight

Development of a digital platform for the visualization of rescue flights

When the rescue helicopter takes off, drones have to take evasive action early on. In practice, this can be difficult. The helicopters are not always visible, and their flight paths are unknown. A safety problem for both sides.

Development

the first digital platform for the visualization of rescue flights.

Display

of the rescue missions in real time including planned route segments.

Establishment

of safety corridors around rescue flights incl. warning of surrounding air traffic.

Project duration

Project start: Autumn 2023
Project end: Spring 2024

The goal

To solve the problem, Droniq, the non-profit ADAC Luftrettung and rescuetrack are building Germany's first digital platform for visualizing rescue flights by next year.

The implementation

The platform is based on Droniq's traffic management system (UTM). This displays active rescue missions in real time - including the planned route segment. The information for this is transmitted by rescuetrack.

Drone pilots who are in the planned route section with their drone are warned in good time via the Droniq UTM. This enables them to take evasive action or make an intermediate landing in good time. At the same time, a virtual safety corridor is set up around the planned route of the rescue helicopters in the UTM and displayed to the users. They can take the planned rescue route into account accordingly in their flights. In addition, the information on drone traffic can be passed on to rescuetrack via the UTM and thus made available to the rescue units as needed.

Our contribution

Droniq is part of the project team and provides market expertise as well as traffic management (UTM) including all information on unmanned air traffic. Furthermore, it supports with technical expertise.

Voices about the project

Time and again, we experience private, commercial or government drones unintentionally approaching our rescue helicopters. All the more reason for us to look forward to solving this challenge with our platform.

Dr. Philip Edelmann
Pilot and Head of Flight Operations at ADAC Luftrettung

With the current project, the DFS subsidiary Droniq is further expanding its position as a leading specialist in the use of drones by public authorities. Furthermore, the platform marks the missing building block for Droniq to make really all air traffic participants visible in the near-ground airspace in the future.

More projects & customer stories

Use Case
ABGnova

Surveying and inspecting construction sites, as well as checking the progress of construction, can be done faster, more accurately and more economically by drone.
Use Case
Evonik

Drones are a valuable tool for the plant fire department or plant security. Droniq trained Evonik employees at three sites in the theory and practice of safe handling of these unmanned aerial vehicles.
Use Case
DFMG Deutsche Funkturm

Droniq advised Deutsche Funkturm on the aerial flight of the Berlin TV tower by drone to collect data for a detailed 3D model and ensured the necessary approvals - an enormous challenge from an aviation law perspective.
Use Case
FlyNex / MITNETZ STROM

Power lines have to be inspected regularly for bird nests and erosion - a time-consuming and costly task. For Mitnetz Strom, FlyNex flew a route by drone, Droniq supported with the HOD4track.
Use Case
LARUS

How can a drone find drowning victims on the open sea? That's what the LARUS project investigated. Thanks to Droniq's aerial situational awareness, dangerous approaches with manned air traffic could be avoided.
Use Case
Thyssengas

The pipeline network of the gas transport network operator Thyssengas covers around 4,200 km. The pipelines have to be flown regularly - this will be done by drones in the future. Droniq supports this with an LTE modem (HOD4track) as well as aerial displays of the relevant air traffic in the vicinity.
Use Case
Röhm plant fire department

The integration of drones into Röhm's work processes has given rise to new challenges. Not only is the process for issuing an operating permit complex, but the creation of a mandatory operating description is also extensive and requires in-depth knowledge of drone and aviation law.

Use Case
Wingcopter

What would otherwise be done by a small truck can be done much faster, quieter and more environmentally friendly by drone. Wingcopter tested a transport of samples from a plant to the central laboratory for the industrial company Merck.
Project
5G: City. Country. Save lives

5G: City. Country. Saving Lives is a BMDV-sponsored funding project that focuses on further improving the rescue chain with the help of the new 5G mobile communications technology. From emergency calls to first aid to the work of the emergency services. The potential users are the citizens who benefit from a more effective rescue operation. More effective means more targeted and faster. Of course, the alarmed emergency services also benefit from improved information provision. The concepts to be developed start before and after the arrival of the rescue forces, i.e. the affected emergency patient, the person reporting an emergency call or the first responder. Emergency responders benefit at the following points: Control centers, managers of the emergency organizations and the rescue forces (fire department and rescue service) themselves.
Project
ADAM

With the growing relevance of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), the requirements for the environmental detection of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are constantly increasing. Static obstacles must be reliably detected, especially for ground-level missions. While 3D maps are established for autonomous driving, methods for machine-readable digitization of the lower airspace must be developed for UAM in order to create the redundancies required for Beyond-Visual-Line-Of-Sight (BVLOS) flight.

Project
Advanced Air Mobility Initiative Northwest Germany & German Bight (AAM-NW)

The aim of the project is to create a coordinated airspace for both manned and unmanned aviation and to enable their use.

Project
AMI-PGS

AMI-PGS (Air Mobility Initiative - Positioning & Guidance Systems) has as its overall objective to enable the integration of eVTOLs into existing air traffic and thus increase the safety and efficiency of aircraft movements. AMI-PGS is part of the Air Mobility Initiative (AMI), which is funded by the Free State of Bavaria and the Federal Republic of Germany and initiates a number of research projects.
