"Yikes" - successfully delivered! On the afternoon of April 5, 1,200 antigen detection kits completed the rapid contactless distribution task from the East China UAV base to an isolated medical observation point in Jinshan District in just ten minutes.
"Since the sealing and control management, the UAV base has given full play to its unique advantages and provided flight assistance in emergency material distribution, public environment elimination, public order maintenance, etc., which not only reduces the risk of contact, but also greatly alleviates the shortage of volunteers." Xue Bin, head of the East China UAV base, said that after the outbreak of the epidemic, the East China UAV base set up a UAV anti-epidemic commando team for the first time.
Completing the delivery was the SF Ark X8 UAV, which has a maximum take-off weight of 42kg, a load of 10kg and a maximum range of 20 kilometers. It is mainly used for logistics distribution at the end of the city, and can also be used to transport first-aid items, which can be unaffected by road traffic conditions, and can also reduce the risk of infection in the distribution process, which greatly improves the timeliness of emergency distribution.
"In less than half an hour from the request, the drone delivered the medicine to the factory area, which was very convenient." Luo Xirong, chairman of Ruishi Chuangzhan Exhibition, gave a thumbs up to the drone delivery of drugs. It turned out that the company's production director Ji Ruwang had been out of gear a week ago, but because the task of producing corrugated paper isolation beds and other epidemic prevention materials was very urgent, he did not take it seriously, and insisted on working overtime, sleeping only four or five hours a day. At noon on April 5, he suddenly felt unwell, and the person in charge of the company learned about the situation and asked the park enterprise service center for help.
Coincidentally. Two days ago, an employee at a construction site in the park that was sealed and managed accidentally burned and was in urgent need of medicines such as burn cream. The situation was urgent, after receiving the call, Xue Jiali, who coordinated the work of volunteers in the park, on the one hand, quickly arranged for volunteers to rush to the community health service center to dispense medicines, and on the other hand, urgently contacted Xue Bin, the person in charge of the East China UAV base, to request UAV support. Soon, the drone delivered the burn ointment to the employees of the enterprise, solving the urgent need.
"Dear residents and friends, the current epidemic situation is grim, please do not stay outside, during the closure period to stay at home, thank you for your cooperation..." In the Past few days, in the Jinshan Industrial Zone, many residents and enterprise employees can clearly hear the "shouts" from the air. This is also a job that the UAV commando team of the East China UAV Base has to do every day.
According to reports, this time, the UAV commando team of the East China UAV Base is equipped with a total of more than 30 UAVs such as material distribution, air patrol shouting, disinfection and killing, etc., equipped with 5 experienced pilots, and the cumulative flight time is more than 500 hours, providing positive assistance for defeating the epidemic.

As the first base in China to officially allow UAV to carry out multi-scenario testing and application, it has also established seven centers for UAV flight services, R&D and manufacturing, display and trading, education and training, as well as the proposed science and technology incubation, airworthiness technology research, inspection and testing. The UAV base has 58 square kilometers of land airspace, 200 square kilometers of water airspace, 1 square kilometer of test take-off and landing points, a 1 110-kilometer-long verified test flight route (Jinshan-Shengsi), and two cross-shaped runways of 800 meters long and 30 meters wide and a water airport.
