Garuda Aerospace has announced that it will deploy its Droni Drone for surveillance in the most affected areas of Turkey to identify where victims could be trapped under rubble piles and a modified Kisan Drone, which will carry payloads that will help transport emergency medicines, supplies and food for victims.
A press release from the company noted that to support the ongoing relief and rescue efforts in Turkey that have left thousands dead and several thousand missing, NDRF has requested Garuda Aerospace to provide their DGCA-approved drones for disaster management operations.
Interestingly, Garuda Aerospace had earlier deployed drones for rescue and relief operations to the Chamoli glacier burst at Uttarakhand and played a huge role by supporting the locust control operation in Rajasthan.
The drone maker used emergency drones to deliver medicine and vaccinations to hospitals during the pandemic by partnering with Swiggy.
Garuda drones have also helped a mountaineer rappel down a hill and have rescued a trekker. Garuda’s White Knight drones delivered medicines and vaccinations in Bengaluru hospitals for ISRO in 2021, the release added.
Agnishwar Jayaprakash, Founder and CEO, Garuda Aerospace, said, “Given the current situation in Turkey, Garuda Aerospace is deploying drones to support the ongoing rescue and relief operations. As a citizen of India, I'm humbled to support the NDRF in times of need.'
