Angus Council, GB Mercury Drone Port NHS Pilot Service

In Progress

Mercury Drone Port is a joint venture of Angus Council and DTLX based in the Montrose ZeroFour Hub. Drone flights will carry medicine, equipment, and lab samples from the port to facilities in Angus and Dundee. This beyond-line-of-sight pilot allows council officials to determine how on-demand drone flights can better serve local industries. NHS teams in the region improve patient outcomes thanks to faster test results and supply deliveries.
