Operating between fixed arrival and departure points, the Intelligent Parcel Delivery (IPD) service will allow parcels to be rapidly dispatched and autonomously delivered to remote locations. This reduction in delivery times and costs will enable customers in these hard-to-reach locations to receive parcels much more quickly and efficiently than via traditional means of delivery and dispatch. A combination of secure terrestrial, satellite and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) communications will ensure that the craft are always connected and located, putting safety and security at the centre of the service.

This technology and service model has a variety of potential applications. These include regular express courier delivery, high-value asset delivery, and the provision of emergency supplies to disaster areas.
