Following the success of Flowcopter's FC100 at the UK MoD Project Morrighan trials, the potentially vital role heavy payload drones will play in support of medical logistics and, in extremis, casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) has become very clear to the Defence sector. The FC100 offers a robust, low cost heavy lift UAV with a configurable landing gear to accommodate a variety of carriage solutions, offering critical support across medical logistics applications.

Current offshore service & maintenance operations rely on helicopters and Service Operations Vessels. This is an extremely expensive system for moving cargo and tools. Autonomous drone delivery from shore to structure will drastically reduce these costs while cutting emissions and engineer downtime. With a payload and range capacity that meets the needs of offshore operators, the FC100 is a low cost and efficient offshore logistics solution.

Inspired by the RNLI’s call to innovators - "build a companion drone for offshore lifeboats" - the FC100 is designed to meet the requirements of long endurance maritime operations. With a low logistics footprint, the FC100 has the capability to rapidly respond and deploy, significantly extending the effective search window. The FC100 is made to work offshore, with it's hydraulic transmission and rugged components - hydraulic motors are sealed, and are born to function in tough conditions.

Challenging geography - bays, rivers and islands - surround many of the global population centres, meaning soaring delivery costs and restricted access to services for many. With shorter hops with 150kg payloads or up to 300km trips with lighter payloads like blood transfusion packs, the FC100 can open up vital logistics services, streamline operations and drastically reduce logistics costs.
