The country is planning a drug distribution operation with drones from 2018
Japan intends to implement a drug distribution system through ‘drones’ to supply isolated areas with few medical facilities in an operation to start in 2018, today informed the business daily Nikkei.
This system initially would allow aircraft not crewed transportassem prescription drugs, blood transfusions and other emergency products.
To realize the idea, the Japanese government should expand the currently established frequency bands and increase the power output of the wireless network stations.
In addition, it would be necessary to adopt new legislation to regulate the routes of ‘drones’ and products which could carry.
Currently, Japanese law prohibits the flight’ drones ‘over populated residential areas without government authorization and requires minimum distances that aircraft must keep people and buildings, but does not regulate the flight paths.
Japan had no specific legislation on’ drones’ until September last and a man have operated one of these devices with radioactive material to the roof of the residence of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Abe and some ministers will meet today with representatives from companies such as Amazon and Toyota Motor aiming to boost a new drug distribution system with ‘drones’, added the Nikkei.
The giant eletrónio trade Amazon began in March last year to test the parcel delivery using unmanned aircraft in Miami (United States), and Walmart asked late last month to permit US authorities to test ‘drones’ for this purpose.
