Helicus is an Antwerp-based company that develops integrated, flexible, and scalable drone-based solution for critical missions together with 100 long term partners. Founded in 2016, we coordinate an international multi-sector ecosystem of leading organizations, called “Helicus Aero Initiative” (HAI), that jointly builds modular and open solutions to implement networks of automated drone services: medical transport by drone.

Our own products link seamlessly with our partners. Helicus develops two products, being (a) drone agnostics ground automation solutions (hardware) and (b) drone agnostic fleet management software. For our partners we need to excel in (c) flight operations. Helicus has organized urban flights between hospitals as of 2019 and became the first airline company (operator) to obtain EU compliant operational authorization to fly with human medical material over urban area beyond the visual line of sight of the pilot.
