Dippoldiswalde / Ulberndorf

In the presence of numerous representatives from the press and TV, we ceremoniously put the first flight route for medical drone logistics into operation on May 8, 2025. 

First of all, Managing Director René Micknaß and Thomas Kirchner (Medical Consultant) answered numerous questions from journalists about technology and safety.

During the official test days at the Lausitzring, there was a special highlight for ADAC GT3 racer Max Reis.
In keeping with our shared philosophy of precision, speed, innovation, and team spirit, our first hybrid glider was named "MR28."
Starting May 8, 2025, MR28 will be in the air daily to transport medical supplies more quickly.

Many thanks to the HRT team for their kind support.

Milestone for a company from Dresden: since 2019, the team at German Copters DLS GmbH has been working on implementing the idea of transporting medical materials and laboratory samples by drone. The company specializes in carrying out transports with drones.

Part of German Copters corporate philosophy is to be active in the social sphere and to support and promote up-and-coming talent.
We are therefore particularly pleased to announce the new partnership between German Copters and racing driver Max Reis.

The "Jedsy X", the Swiss company's latest drone, was unveiled at the World Lab in Dubai.
Equipped with state-of-the-art safety functions and redundancies as well as the revolutionary digital parachute system, it can now also operate over populated and urban areas.
We are currently working on extending our operating license so that the "Jedsy X" can also be used in Germany from summer 2024.

With this in mind, we would like to thank our team:

To our partners, for the successful and ambitious collaboration and cooperation.
To the doctors and practices for their trust and loyalty.
To the patients who count on us and believe in us.
To our drivers, who deliver top performance every day and make everything possible.
But above all, we would like to thank the Medizinisches Labor Ostsachsen, which has been at our side for a long time now to improve medical care!

We look forward to the rest of the year, with new challenges and new ideas!

Your German Copters Team

The previously "known" must now be re-explored. Innovations generate awe.
Nevertheless, these innovations are important in order to achieve goals and changes.

For two years we have been working in our company on the approval process and the approval of drone flights beyond visual line of sight. With today's handing over of the certification by the President of the Regional Council in Stuttgart, Susanne Bay, German Copters is the first company in Europe to receive approval for the transport of medical samples with drones in complex flight environments in accordance with EASA regulations.

Right now, many questions are being asked about artificial intelligence (AI). The topic is hyped and is worth a headline in the media every day. We have been dealing with AI since the late 1980s.

We have sharpened our business again, implemented new workflows and software systems and redesigned a website (in-house) for the upcoming new, large, powerful, exciting, innovative, exhausting, planned and announced tasks.

If goods are to be transported with drones, this is not so easy compared to cars. With drones, the space for transport goods is limited, the aerodynamics and center of gravity must be right and the performance of the drone should not be affected. Many things can be calculated, but in the end it is always better if all parameters are tested in flight. Not everything went as quickly as planned, but the cooperation with Germandrones GmbH has worked great so far.

A month ago we flew our drones parallel to a helicopter, but the safety concept and the flight organization worked perfectly. The film produced is now online. Thanks again to Uplink GmbH for the job.

Rarely have we implemented such a complex flight organization. There were previously precise stipulations on flight corridors, on communication with the emergency services on the ground and in the air and which aircraft is allowed to move in which area at what time. If professionals work in every unit, then it just has to work perfectly and very effectively.

We are always amazed by the creativity and the technical solutions of the drone developers in Germany. For years we have looked at many drones and solutions that we believe can help us with our task. It is important for us that the drone fits into our toolbox as a tool. Technical gimmicks won't help us if the application we need is just a waste product squeezed between two wings. We have already successfully evaluated the Germandrones drone. At Phoenix-Wings we are already more than impressed after the kick-off. We have great expectations and hope that we may be able to integrate the drone into our fleet of drones as early as next year. It is not easy to find the right pearls for us among all the marketing thunder. But they really exist.

In the last three years, German Copters has developed evaluation methods and profitability calculations in a kind of guideline that provide more clarity and security when implementing projects in the field of medical logistics. This guide, developed specifically for customers, helps to shorten projects and avoid bad investments.

German Copters CMO Holger Schulze had the honour of writing some sections for the book "Unmanned Aerial Systems in Medical Care". The book gives some suggestions on the challenges to be faced when setting up drone-based logistics. The book provides a good overview of barriers to the implementation of innovations, the legal framework, the technical possibilities and possible operating concepts

The past season of the Dresdner Eislöwen was not only very successful in sport, but also highly professional in the areas of economic and sports management. So that this can stay that way and also because the club is really important to us, German Copters has signed an extended sponsorship contract for the coming season. German Copters will also present the penalties in the new season with a small video on the scoreboard. We will also take on the player partnership and feature the "bad boy" player with the most penalties. We as German Copters are looking forward to further cooperation.

Photogrammetry is a powerful tool when it comes to creating 3D digital models. But it's not that simple after all. To do this, we need the right drone, a perfect trajectory, a professional camera, the right software and a well-thought-out workflow. We have been working on improving our results for several years. That's why we're always testing new setups and optimizing our workflows. And it doesn't always have to be the big and expensive drone to achieve a good result.

Helios Global Health and German Copters signed a partnership agreement on the occasion of the presentation of the "Health Cube" concept in Leipzig. The "Health Cube" concept from Helios is primarily based on the idea of increasingly decentralized health care with small care centers using telemedicine. In the near future, German Copters will take over the transport between the medical facilities with its drones.

After intensive consideration, the shareholders of German Copters DLS GmbH have decided to relocate the company's headquarters to Stuttgart. In the last two years, the drone business has developed very well, while at the same time becoming more complex in terms of legal and technical requirements. The conditions must be right so that German Copters can continue to develop successfully in the future. The best conditions for German copters were found in Baden-Württemberg. The Dresden location will remain, but will be operated as a branch.
