The integration of Draganfly and ParaZero technology is enhancing safety for UAV operations in projects such as Mass General Brigham’s Home Hospital UAV Delivery Pilot —one of the country's leading home healthcare initiatives—and Squamish Search and Rescue (SAR), operating in one of the world’s busiest outdoor sporting and recreation regions.

This ensures safer, more effective operations that save lives and safeguard personnel.
"Working with ParaZero signifies our commitment to advancing UAV safety and operational capabilities," said Cameron Chell, CEO of Draganfly.
