Airspace Link Enables First Real-World Medical Package Delivery Operations In Michigan

Key Facts

Armed with a Michigan Mobility Funding Grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, Airspace Link brought together drone operator MissionGO, Beaumont Health, and metropolitan Detroit community leaders to execute Michigan's first real-world package delivery operations via UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System or "drone").
The Michigan Mobility Grant was awarded to Airspace Link with the ambition to establish a drone delivery network in southeast Michigan to transport urgently needed medical items safely and efficiently.
Ultimately, the data will be used to inform a model that the State of Michigan can use to help understand the tremendous impact that drones can have on the environment, the economy and, especially in this case, improved patient outcomes for healthcare providers when integrated at scale.
"We're thrilled to see Airspace Link continuing to grow their business in Michigan while demonstrating how mobility technologies can play a vital role in improving quality of life and providing access to critical services such as health care," said Charlie Tyson, Technology Activation Manager for the Office of Future Mobility and Electrification.
