The AquaNAS Droneport System is a patent pending network of floating UAV takeoff and landing platforms. The system is designed with a number of intuitive safety and logistics features which are equipped to accommodate and provide flight support services to UAVS under 55 lbs.
The AquaNAS Droneport System is linked to a single mobile application using a series of software applications which will allow users to send and receive parcels light enough to be transported by UAV from any participating merchant or subscribed individual location to any point along the network.
The AquaNAS hybrid infrastructure will consists of battery powered bicycles, electric automobiles, hybrid automobiles and the existing infrastructure of local and international courier services as well as ride sharing services to deliver parcels to a system determined AquaNAS Droneport location where the parcel is then transported via UAV for delivery. AquaNAS Droneport System platforms will be utilized for the purpose of maintaining a safer, more controlled environment for BVOLS (Beyond Visual Line-of-Sight) flights as well as takeoffs and landings.
The AquaNAS Droneport System platforms will be temporarily constrained to delivery of items weighing less than 10 lbs . The most significant feature of the AquaNAS Droneport System is its total dedication to the use of the surrounding waterways and the open ocean as its main flight paths. The implementation of the AquaNAS greatly reduces BVOLS risks by eliminating the need of having to fly over people, private property and densely populated urban areas.
Similarly, the AquaNAS creates a safer flight environment by not having to navigate through unpredictable urban canyons, a phenomenon mostly associated with modern cities and the existence of skyscrapers. Urban canyons or areas with tall structures may be responsible for a loss in the data links between the aircraft and its pilot , which ultimately can cause a loss of control over the aircraft.
The exclusion of overland flights and investing in water based takeoff and landing UAV platforms also directly addresses the strong privacy and security concerns of local governments and citizens in a growing number of states. In contrast, AquaNAS flights and landings very rarely include contact with the general public as they are routinely routed over bodies of water. Initiating the AquaNAS Droneport System will be the first important step in bridging the gap of trust between Community, Industry and Regulators.
The AquaNAS parcel delivery system was designed to keep flights clear of people and property, and the project was created by URBAN UAV SYSTEMS & CONSULTING, INC..
