News on CAELUS

ANRA Technologies is a partner in Project CAELUS 2, helping to establish the first national drone network for transporting essential medical supplies across the expansive and diverse terrain of Scotland, encompassing even the most remote and challenging communities.

ANRA Technologies’ contributions to this transformative project includes developing the CAELUS CONOPS, the development of a delivery management system, customer and vendor software apps, order/inventory management, as well as integration with the UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) system for efficient drone airspace management. ANRA is working, with its CAELUS ATM partner, to develop and test UTM interactions with Air Traffic Management ATM.

At the heart of ANRA’s involvement in Project CAELUS 2 is the implementation of a sophisticated Delivery Management System. This system orchestrates the entire drone logistics operation, ensuring the seamless and secure transportation of critical medical supplies. It encompasses operation planning, real-time tracking, and order management, all tailored to meet the unique demands of healthcare logistics. The DMS system enables the NHS customer to place orders directly with the vendor and Drone Service provider to manage the lifecycle of an order.

To further enhance the user experience and facilitate the efficient exchange of medical supplies, ANRA has developed dedicated customer and vendor apps. These user-friendly applications provide an intuitive platform for healthcare facilities and suppliers to place and manage orders, track deliveries, and ensure the timely provision of essential medical items to those in need. ANRA’s customer and vendor apps empower stakeholders by offering transparency, control, and reliability in the supply chain.

The integration with a UTM system is a cornerstone of ANRA’s contribution to Project CAELUS 2. UTM is essential for the safe and organized operation of drones in shared airspace. ANRA’s UTM integration ensures that drone flights adhere to airspace regulations, avoid collisions, and operate seamlessly alongside other aerial vehicles. This integration is vital for making drone delivery not only efficient but also compliant with regulatory standards.
