Prodrone Co., Ltd. (Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, President and CEO Masakazu Kono) and Toyota City (Mayor Toshihiko Ota) have concluded a "Future Challenge Partnership Agreement" regarding the development and utilization of industrial drones. As part of this agreement, Prodrone will receive permission from Toyota City to use Fujioka Heliport (Fukami-cho, Toyota City) as a location to carry out demonstrations regarding the development and utilization of industrial drones.
With the enforcement of the revised Civil Aeronautics Act on December 10th, the position of industrial drones will become clearer, and the industrial drone market is expected to be revitalized. However, at the same time, this revision has added various restrictions to industrial drones, including where they can fly and how they can fly. At this time, the ``Mirai Challenge Partnership Agreement'' with Toyota City regarding the development and utilization of industrial drones is of great significance. We believe that the demonstration experiments conducted at Fujioka Heliport will greatly contribute to the future development of the industrial drone market. The details of the demonstration experiment that Prodrone will conduct at Fujioka Heliport are as follows.
Specific details of experiments and research conducted by Prodrone at Fujioka Heliport
- Research and development on safety of industrial drones
- Research, development, and experiments on the use of industrial drones during earthquakes and disasters (rescue, communication, emergency supplies transportation, etc.)
- Research, development, and experiments on high-precision inspection of buildings, bridges, steel towers, and other structures using industrial drones
- Research, development and experimentation of drones for transporting goods
- Research, development and experimentation of drones specifically for agriculture and forestry fields
- Development of industrial drone operators (implementation of safety education and flight training)
