PropelUAS a division of Evans Incorporated, announced that it is partnering with Medical Express Ambulance Service (MedEx) in the unveiling of a high-tech “Concept Ambulance” that integrates Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) into its collection of life saving technologies.
PropelUAS is providing UAS-related expertise to determine the benefits and the future of UAS integration with traditional apparatuses used in the emergency response vehicles. Together with MedEx, the team is addressing numerous challenges, such as the ideal drone configuration for this integration, operational considerations for emergency response, and navigation of airspace regulations. PropelUAS™ is collaborating with Lockheed Martin and MedEx to combine the very best elements of emergency management systems with the potential of tactical UAS. Lockheed Martin’s Indago systems are used for a variety of lifesaving military, first responder and civil applications.
PropelUAS partners with organizations to assist in navigating and integrating UAS technologies into their organizations. As a division of Evans Incorporated, it is uniquely positioned to assist Emergency Responders, such as MedEx, after years of supporting the Federal Aviation Administration with the integration of UAS into the National Airspace System. PropelUAS uses its IDEA-OPS methodology to take organizations from ‘Idea’ to ‘Operations’ and ensure ROI – Real Operational Impact in all facets of UAS integration. It does so by leveraging decades of experience and knowledge in aviation, air traffic, operations, and business consulting.
“Evans Incorporated and PropelUAS both strive to offer companies guidance so that they may prosper in their corporate evolutions,” said Sue Evans, President and Founder of Evans Incorporated, parent company to PropelUAS. “MedEx’s trust in PropelUAS to properly integrate a drone with an ambulance and to guide them through operation shows that our reputation as an innovative industry leader is strong. It also shows the need for an industry (such as first responders) to adapt to and use modern technologies in their day-to-day functions.”
PropelUAS Senior Unmanned Systems Analysts, Andy Osantowske and Chad Tyson, will be at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show describing the benefits and future of UAS integration with traditional apparatuses used in Emergency Response vehicles.
