Unlike typical drones, the AI-powered UAV can operate fully autonomously or semi-automatically, navigating treacherous landscapes that ground conventional aircraft. “You tell it where to go, and it knows,” says Justin Tooth, Certo’s Managing Director and ex-Royal Navy Lynx pilot. “Press ‘go,’ and it tests its systems, takes off, flies to waypoints, lands, and shuts down—all with one button.”
This autonomous drone for disaster zones excels where helicopters struggle – in tight spaces and hostile conditions, and without needing runways. “Everything with VTOL aircraft takes a different way of thinking from that of conventional runway-dependent aircraft,” Tooth says. Vertical lift-off unlocks access to isolated, perilous areas, making it a cornerstone of crisis response tech.
