Aero-TV: Drones Impacting The World - DJI and AUVSI Recognize Life-Saving UAVs

DJI Sponsors Inaugural AUVSI XCELLENCE Humanitarian Award

Five organizations that flew drones on critical, life-saving missions were recognized with the inaugural XCELLENCE Humanitarian Award by the Association for Unmanned Vehicles Systems International (AUVSI). The award, which is sponsored by DJI was presented at the AUVSI XPONENTIAL 2018 conference at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, Colorado.

These first recipients of the AUVSI XCELLENCE Humanitarian Award were recognized for using drones, also known as unmanned aircraft systems, for disaster management, medical assistance, and search-and-rescue operations at locations around the world:

• Aeryon Labs Inc., Aeryon SkyRanger UAS Provides Critical Aerial Intelligence to First Responders in Sint Maarten in the Wake of Hurricane Irma (Canada)

• DroneSAR, DroneSAR UAV Search & Rescue (SAR) Solution - Executing Autonomous Aerial Search and Delivering Live Drone Data to Augment First Response Efforts (Ireland)

• Nepal Flying Lab, Drone Hazard & Vulnerability Mapping in Nepal (Nepal)

• ONG DroneSAR Chile, Emergency Response Team and Humanitarian Aid Through the Use of Drones (Chile)

• Zipline International, Zipline's Medical Drone Delivery Operation in Rwanda (Rwanda)

The five organizations will equally divide a $25,000 donation as prizes for their ground-breaking humanitarian and philanthropic efforts.
