Abstract
During the pandemic, drones helped many FFCs access goods and services to the government and the general population. In response, many regulatory bodies worldwide have shown interest in helping the industry develop. Regulators are now looking for ways to support the development of drone technology by exploring ways to transport heavier goods and people. They are issuing more permits within existing frameworks and adopting more comprehensive frameworks to allow for more drone operations. Overall, drones are expected to play an essential role in all applications. This makes them an excellent solution for transportation applications. This study analyzes the role of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in delivering medical and emergency supplies to remote areas. It outlines potential considerations for operators wishing to use UAVs to provide medical and emergency supplies to remote locations. The article also discusses some practical considerations regarding the organization wishing to conduct such operations, the operations themselves, and the technology used. These considerations are primarily driven by the nature of the international regulatory framework for UAV operations and the specifics of using UAVs to deliver medical and emergency supplies.
