"Safety is at the core of everything we do at Everdrone. Even though the drones we use are extremely safe in themselves, we still need to foresee every conceivable fault scenario and put solutions in place to handle them. The system must contain a great many functions that overlap and complement each other, to ensure that no single point of failure can lead to an accident," says Sällström.
Everdrone's flight system features industry-leading obstacle avoidance functionality built on Intel® RealSense™ technology, intelligent route planning to significantly reduce flight time over people, and a certified onboard parachute system to mitigate risk to people on the ground in the case of a bird strike or critical propulsion failure.

The research perspective
The outcome of the emergency operations will continuously be evaluated within a research study conducted by KI.
"We see enormous potential for this type of fully-integrated drone system. This study is unique, the first of its kind in the world, and we look forward to objectively evaluating the project together with Everdrone and SOS Alarm," says Andreas Claesson, Associate Professor at KI.
The results of the study will be presented by KI later this year, with the hope of expanding operations to other parts of Sweden and Europe by 2021.
The project has received funding from the Eurostars-2 Joint Programme with co-funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme.
