The agreement will see ParaZero integrate its patented SafeAir parachute technology with Doosan’s award-winning DS30 endurance drone.

According to the company the multi-phase project will generate initial revenue in excess of A$150,000 for ParaZero and will include R&D coordination, system architecture, design, ground deployment testing, system finalisation, and ASTM F3322-18 (American Society for Testing and Materials) testing and certification.

On the agreement, Delta Drone International CEO, Christopher Clark, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Doosan as a strategic partner to enhance the safety of their unique hydrogen fuel cell-powered DS30 drone by integrating our industry-leading SafeAir parachute technology.

“The challenge has always been ensuring that drones can safely fly in urban environments. We believe that as OEMs see the commercial and regulatory benefits of designing the highest level of safety into their product design, Delta Drone International will continue playing a leading role in helping the drone industry ensure safety”, said Mr Clark.

Doosan Mobility’s Business Development Manager, Soonsuk Roh, said:

“Ensuring our DS30 not only complies, but exceeds, the most stringent safety standards set by the world’s civil aviation regulators is a key differentiator for our rollout of what we believe is an industry-leading endurance drone. We are therefore proud to be working with ParaZero, the industry leader in drone safety systems.”

ParaZero’s SafeAir system is designed to comply with regulations that enable safe flight operations overpopulated areas and beyond visual line of sight. The patented autonomous parachute technology has enabled hundreds of organisations around the world to be granted flight exemptions and waivers by civil aviation authorities, including the FAA, AESA, EASA, CAAI, and Transport Canada.
