DTS – DRONE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
What is DST System
DST stands for Dronoid Transport System.
It is an innovative way to instantly deliver small shipments using Spartaqs transport drones and a network of dronomats for sending / receiving groupage shipments (so-called Service Points).
The DST system also includes NODs (Nest of Drones), i.e. charging points for dronoids, as well as ultralight aircraft, used for transport over longer distances.
How DST works
The system is based on the proprietary SPARTAQS infrastructure, which includes a network of dronoids, NODs, dronomats and Ultralight aircraft.
The fleet built of HERMES V8M dronoids can be controlled via the Dronet management network by the operator in the CKL (Mid-Came Control Center). This allows you to manage the entire fleet of transport dronoids from one place.
The system allows for a fully automated flight, without the operator’s participation – the operator supervises the flight but does not interfere in its implementation. Thanks to this, flights are also possible in very difficult weather conditions, including reduced visibility.
A dedicated cargo module allows for quick and reliable loading and unloading of the cargo cassette by personnel on the take-off and landing platform.
DST technological readiness
See how the Drone Transport System works
The Drone Transport System technology has been developed at Spartaqs over the last 3 years. The originator of the project and the initiator of its creation is Sławomir Huczała – Chief Designer and co-owner of Spartaqs.
In April 2020, the procedure of admitting the HERMES V8M dronoid for automatic BVLOS flights in U-Space was completed. This became the starting point for the creation of further elements of the DST system, which Spartaqs is successively implementing.
At the beginning, Spartaqs, together with the Central Clinical Hospital of the Ministry of Interior and Administration, undertook preparations for the implementation of the system in the area of the province. Mazowieckie, enabling an increase in the efficiency of transporting medical consignments between hospitals.
Possibilities
Dronomats are used to send and receive shipments by BSP units.
Transport missions are performed by Spartaqs dedicated dronoid platforms.
Depending on the weight of the shipment and the length of the route, the system will independently select the appropriate platform that will wait for the shipment in the appropriate dronomat.
Readiness
At present, Spartaqs is the only company in the country that has the technology with a level of readiness that enables it to carry out procedures for admitting automatic flights in city centers.
The Hermes dronoid platform has undergone a series of tests to confirm its readiness for automatic BVLOS flights over urban development.
Representatives of the Civil Aviation Authority checked the emergency procedures prepared by the Company and the dedicated equipment increasing the safety of operations
All tests ended with a positive result and approval of the HERMES V8M unmanned aircraft with the registration number SP-YHMS for automatic BVLOS flights in the U-Space space
Dronoids in the fight against COVID-19
A historic event – the transport of biological material for SARS-CoV-2 virus testing in Warsaw took place on April 29, 2020.
It was the first official automatic flight out of sight of the operator according to the new European guidelines, supervised by the Civil Aviation Authority and PANSA.
The above event confirmed the technological readiness of Spartaqs to meet the demand for innovative transport solutions that can improve the current inefficient road system.
Dronoids dedicated to the DST service are multi-rotor unmanned platforms designed for cargo transport.
Their construction is characterized by exceptional durability and high lifting capacity, extended flight time and wide operational capabilities in difficult weather conditions.
Entirely designed and built in Poland, for the safe and effective handling of shipments, including specialist medical shipments.
Thanks to the design created from scratch, such a cargo dronoid provides an exceptionally long range and high flight speed, and the automated flight system enables operation without the operator’s participation, even in difficult conditions.
The offered constructions have been configured in such a way as to be able to deliver shipments safely and quickly in the U-Space environment.
