Unmanned Aerial Cargo Delivery
Ottawa, Canada company Mist Mobility Integrated Systems Technology Inc. (MMIST) and Technology Partnerships Canada, TCP, have announced that TCP will be making a $30 million
investment in development of MMIST's unmanned cargo delivery aircraft.
The improved designed will be based on MMIST's SnowGoose UAV to improve range and payload capacity.
The SnowGoose is a parafoil winged UAV that can be launched from the ground or dropped out an airplane.
It has a cargo capacity of up to 600 pounds and an endurance range of up to 20 hours, depending on the cargo. The guidance system is based on MMIST's GPS guided SHERPA system.
Currently, the largest customer for the unmanned fliers is the US military. The TCP
announcement says the delivery robots also "can be used to deliver
medical assistance and emergency food aid to remote communities."
