The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) has been at the forefront of developing integration protocols for drones in shared airspace in collaboration with Windwalker Group.
MassDOT successfully secured a $1 million grant and one of the first FAA waivers for operating drones Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS).
Recently, MassDOT completed trials exploring the use of drones for medical deliveries in partnership with companies like Zipline, Draganfly, DroneUp, and Arrive AI.
The program aims to use drones for delivering medical supplies up to 10 pounds to enhance emergency medical response and home-based healthcare services in Massachusetts.
