Dardilly and Tel Aviv, 8 April 2020
The drone package transport
projectAs part of a future project for enabling drones
based services operation in urban envirionment such as delivery of
parcels, the city of Tel Aviv (Israel) via its innovation
implementation hub (CityZone), retained the company ParaZero to
carry out, from 2020, the first experiments and proof of concept of
an adapted system, ensuring the highest level of safety and
reliability. These experiments will be carried out in real
situations through the use of an entire district of the city.
About this very innovative project, Mrs. Liora
Schechter, CIO of the Municipality of Tel Aviv said:« As part
of our vision of shaping better cities for tomorrow, we see the
involvment of drones as a pilar element in our vision and we are
partnering with the best players to implemement it together.»
In order to present the best possible solution,
and given their recent capital alliance, Delta Drone and ParaZero
have naturally decided to make their design offices work together
and to pool their respective know-how to build a professional
solution, specifically adapted to this international project.
On the Delta Drone side, the project will be
carried out using drone technology used for the ATMOS solution: for
4 years, these automatic drones of the hexacopter type have been
carrying decorations weighing up to 1.5 kg in the context of the
choreographies presented at Puy du Fou, with more than 4,000
flights made at night, close to the public, without any incident.
It will also benefit from the technological advances of the ISS
SPOTTER solution, in particular from the system's ground station
which allows takeoff, landing, drone storage between two missions
and automatic battery recharging.
On the ParaZero side, the Israeli company will
embark on the drone its smart, autonome safety system, which is
today the only drone’s safety system of this type approved by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to fly in an urban
environment above the public. ParaZero will also benefit from its
privileged place at the heart of the aeronautical industry in
Israel.
Eden Attias the Chairman and MD of PARAZERO
says: « This project is the first phase in implementing
ParaZero’s and Delta Drone’s mutual vision to be the global leader
in enabling drones services in urban environment ».
Other international partners will be associated
with the project. At this stage, it already integrates, among its
first initiators, a French IT engineering group of more than 12 000
people, systems engineers and product designers, computer
scientistes, and production experts.
The first lessons from the global health
crisisMany experts agree today that the current Covid-19
health crisis probably foreshadows a new situation which is likely
to shake up the world organization.
Indeed, the speed of propagation of the virus
and the extent of its spread all over the planet are unprecedented
phenomena which seem to result largely from the globalization of
trade in goods and goods, as well as the exponential increase in
flows of people moving around the world. Now, as history is
punctuated by this type of recurrent and periodic viral epidemic,
many observers expect, in the coming years, future crises just as
widespread and difficult to control by the health services.
According to specialists, the stake is
considerable, because these crises disorganize and endanger the
whole economic and social organization of the countries, calling
into question global growth, employment and more generally the
fundamental principles of community life.
Faced with these major health disorders, the
first defense is the regulation of the epidemic in order to better
organize the intervention and treatment capacities of the
healthcare systems. To do this, the various governments, in most
countries, have used in a massive way and for the first time in
history the method of confinement of populations on a large scale,
a measure which until then, seemed extreme and considered taboo
.
During the next crises, there is no doubt for
all the experts that the use of "social distancing" by confinement
will be used more systematically, sooner, and with less reluctance.
However, it poses the problem of supplying the confined populations
and the imperative that remains to meet to transport the
essentials. In this context, a drone delivery system will
constitute a powerful technological complement to facilitate
logistics.

program emphasizes market preparation, product validation and
enterprise scaling, offering participants the opportunity to
develop, test and demonstrate their technology in Tel Aviv's Smart
City Beta Site, perform tests and get feedback from real cities and
businesses.Program participants benefit from logistical support and
advice from experts and researchers. They also have access to
international partner companies of CityZone, such as Renault Nissan
Mitsubishi, Dell Technologies, Cisco.
