Drone Rescue System M600 (a parachute for drones)

2019: Creation and system testing

At the beginning of July, 2019 the Israeli company Flytrex provided and tested parachutes for unmanned aerial vehicles. The solution under the name Drone Rescue System M600 as developers consider, will help to accelerate development of delivery services of goods by air.

Parachutes are located in a special carbonic compartment together with the sensors and control systems working separately from the drone. After detection of a problem a parachute system using electronics will automatically develop a parachute during milliseconds. Besides, the device will automatically power off the UAV that propellers did not get confused in slings and did not wound anybody when falling.

For drones created parachutes of Drone Rescue Systems DRS 5 which will accelerate start of delivery services by air

Parachutes are created on the basis of elastic tapes thanks to which developers achieved the small weight of construction, and that can be applied in drones weighing from 3 to 16 kg. Affirms, laying of the developed parachute and restart of the UAV takes several minutes.

Drone Rescue System M600 is completed with a black box in which data are stored about weed. If the parachute was not developed, a system will indicate the reason.

The new technology is tested on the DJI Matrice 600 Pro drone by the Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research (NUAIR) organization in the territory of one of the airports in New York.

Federal management of civil aviation of the USA (FAA) prohibits the majority of drones to fly directly over people that constrains start of delivery services by means of UAVs. However professional operators of the UAV can achieve removal of this restriction if they prove use of reliable security measures, such as parachute system.

Drone Rescue System M600 conforms to requirements of ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) — the international organization developing and publishing standards for materials, products, systems and services. Obtaining such certificate allows Flytrex to expect the fast beginning of use of development for commercial purposes.^[1]
