Press ReleasePABLO AIR succeeds in simultaneous delivery using two drones in a 50-mile circular flight
The successful drone delivery of emergency medicines and everyday items from mainland Korea to nearby islands has been the subject of significant attention. The long flight followed by accurate, simultaneous delivery of items by two drones departing at the same time is expected to open up the era of drone deliveries. In a recent flight, PABLO AIR, a member company of Born2Global Centre, shipped medical supplies to two islands with two drones. The drones flew from Incheon New Port (management pier) to Yeongheungdo Island and Jawoldo Island, a roundtrip 50-mile journey, in one hour and 20 minutes. This was the longest drone flight made in Korea and took place despite inclement weather (strong winds). Vertical takeoff-and-landing (V-TOL) drones were used for this test flight, and were operated with an independently-developed, web-based control system instead of the existing CS (Client-Server) control system. Safety of the flight was ensured through real-time, simultaneous monitoring of both drones with three different communications technologies (LTE, satellite, RF wireless). With this system, monitoring was possible via computer, tablet PC, and mobile phone, making constant tracking possible regardless of location. The flight was part of the robot delivery project funded by Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Technopark and viewed by representatives from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport; Incheon Metropolitan City; Incheon Technopark; Incheon Port Authority; Korea Institute of Aviation Safety Technology; Incheon Industry Academy Collaboration Institute; and Jeyang Logistics. In November 2019, a PABLO AIR drone completed a 35.7-mile flight from Jejudo's Seogwipo Port to Udo Port in one hour and 56 minutes—the longest drone delivery flight in Korea. The company is leading development of an UAM (Urban Air Mobility Personal Air Vehicle) market of the future by also engaging in non-delivery projects, such as an "art show" by a group of 300 drones.Kim Young-jun, CEO of PABLO AIR, said, "Drone technology will create significant added value in the future of delivery shipping and bring greater convenience for users. The era of drone-shipped deliveries is fast approaching, which means we have to concentrate not only on developing safer, more precise technologies but also on entering foreign markets in 2021, using our unparalleled skill set. We will be collaborating with a variety of distribution companies worldwide in the coming years." Founded in 2018, PABLO AIR is a developer of unmanned aerial software and hardware. Its core business is the development of drone swarm platforms and provision of related solutions. Every PABLO AIR employee has expertise in drones and/or unmanned aviation. The company is developing technologies to make drones applicable on a wide scale, including in distribution, disaster detection, collection of environmental data, and entertainment. The company succeeded in securing KRW 3 billion in Series A funding in collaboration with Lee Soo-man, chief producer of SM Entertainment, and the KTB Network. It has completed the development of its own drone hardware and is currently working on a software solution that integrates manned and unmanned drones. It is also pursuing projects in areas such as drone swarm technology-based logistics, disaster monitoring, and smart city environment monitoring. Its ultimate vision is to develop benchmark technology and set a new milestone in the PAV (personal air vehicle) air taxi industry.❚ Video- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY9ym5boaK89BNwGm71ZZRw - https://youtu.be/DE6pMj0wA-0

Press ReleasePABLO AIR becomes the first Korean company to habe succeed in a 57.5km package deliver within 1 hour
PABLO AIR successfully conducted a long-distance drone delivery from Seogwipo Port on Jeju Island to Cheonjin Port on Wudo Island on November 2, 2019, ushering in an era wherein delivery services can be received via drone anywhere.PABLO AIR successfully conducted a long-distance drone delivery from Seogwipo Port on Jeju Island to Cheonjin Port on Wudo Island. The drone is considered an iconic concept of the 4th Industrial Revolution, and the competition to introduce drone in the business and gain a competitive edge in the commercial market is becoming fierce in the US, China, Europe, and elsewhere in the world. Previously, small-sized, low-priced drones were used mainly to obtain images and videos; now, however, expensive, medium-sized drones are conducting various missions including farming, surveillance, measuring, and delivery. Going forward, as large-sized, unmanned aerial vehicles become available and autonomous flight drones are used commercially as a personal transportation vehicle, drones are expected to play an increasingly important role in transportation and traffic.PABLO AIR is an unmanned aerial hardware and software development company based in Korea. Founded on August 8, 2018, it has just celebrated its first anniversary, yet it became the first Korean company to conduct long-distance drone delivery successfully. With drone being the key component of its services, the company focuses on developing swarming flight platforms and solutions. Building on its unmanned aerial vehicle services, PABLO AIR is expanding its business scope to other fields such as entertainment and education. The company has the capability to compete with world-class companies at drone performance art shows. Due to the company's swarm flight technology, they have the largest drone performance art show in Korea.❚ PABLO AIR sets new drone delivery record in KoreaIn a demonstration of a long-distance drone delivery conducted on November 2, 2019, PABLO AIR set the record for the longest time and distance drone delivery in Korea by flying a drone 57.514 km for 1 hour and 56 minutes. Drone delivery was made possible by the UAVs Logistics Solution developed by PABLO AIR. ▲ The hybrid drone can safely fly more than 57km. ▲ The LTE-Sat heterogeneous communication system enables communicating with the drone anywhere on earth. ▲ The Ground Control System enables a single person to control swarm drone. ▲ The mobile application allows customers to track and monitor the delivery process in real time.The video of drone delivery demonstration by PABLO AIR is available on its website (www.pabloair.com) or on YouTube (PABLO AIR Channel).❚ Unlimited Possibility for Swarm Flight TechnologyPABLO AIR was the first Korean company that successfully performed a drone art show with 100 drones using swarm flight technology at the 2019 Drone Regulatory Sandbox Fair on March 7. In addition, the swarm drone-operating software developed by PABLO AIR will soon become commercially available. PABLO AIR is also working closely with the military, which is keenly interested in swarm flight technology. Recently, the Korean army has created a dronebot combat group that will conduct surveillance, reconnaissance, attack, and transportation of military supplies. PABLO AIR said it will take advantage of its original swarm flight technology to develop unmanned aerial solutions that it can use in multiple fields including private and public sectors as well as the military to emerge as a global market leader.
