Rescue drone Grille: Bundeswehr orders test units from Avilus

Avilus is to supply the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces) with test units of its rescue drone Grille; the armed forces have placed the order. The aim is to expand unmanned airborne capabilities – for medical evacuation as well as for logistics tasks.

Specifically, the project comprises two flying unmanned systems, plus flight trials and operator training. The platform is to be adapted, together with the Bundeswehr Medical Service, to the requirements of uncrewed patient transport.

According to Avilus, soldiers will be trained first before intensive flying begins. The system is thus to be tested and further developed in a real-world environment.

Innovative solutions are more important than ever to ensure a resilient and high-performing rescue chain in the future as well.— Surgeon General Ralf Hoffmann
