Our passion for drones

As a company, it goes without saying that the pursuit of sales and profits is important. However, I believe that it is absolutely not enough to do anything as long as it is profitable.

I started my drone business mainly for the following reasons.

• I want to save as many lives as possible in the event of a disaster by using drones. In particular, I want to reduce the number of secondary disasters.
• In Japan, where the birthrate is declining and the population is aging, and some areas are becoming depopulated, I want to provide a more affluent lifestyle by using drones.

In the beginning, we tried to tackle these issues head-on, but of course, the world was not so kind to us. Everyone told us that our enthusiasm was great, but we could only get verbal support.

For this reason, we came to think that we would like to work on a scheme to promote drone logistics during normal times, and then switch to disaster-response drones during emergencies.

In order to achieve this, we have decided that it is essential to set up much safer standards and rules for flying drones than other drone companies. We are now in the process of implementing this very initiative.

That is why we are actively seeking experience and knowledge from the manned aircraft world. Unlike manned aircraft, the world of UAV is small, with a ground altitude of up to 149 meters (in Japan, the Civil Aeronautics Law only permits flights with a ground altitude of up to 149 meters in principle). However, this small world holds great potential.

In addition, in order to speed up the process of saving lives in the event of a disaster, we are also working hard to promote an application called HarrisHawk by Rock Garage.

We will continue to do our best to establish a livable society through drones.
