The German company Avilus presented an innovative unmanned aerial vehicle Grille, designed for evacuating the wounded and delivering goods in high-risk areas. This high-tech rescue drone can significantly increase the chances of survival of victims in extreme situations.
Grille Rescue Drone
Appearance and purpose
The German company Avilus demonstrated its new development at the ILA Berlin aerospace exhibition - the Grille unmanned aerial vehicle. Despite its impressive size and menacing appearance, reminiscent of futuristic aircraft from the Second World War, this drone is designed to save lives. Grille is a powerful multicopter designed for the rapid evacuation of the wounded and the transportation of important cargo.
Specifications
Grille has some impressive features. It is capable of lifting up to 135 kg of payload into the air with a maximum take-off weight of 695 kg. An electric motor with a power of 240 kW allows the drone to reach a cruising speed of 86 km/h, rise to a height of up to 2.1 km and cover distances of up to 51 km. To ensure safety, the drone is equipped with a ballistic parachute and backup systems.
Control system and equipment
The Grille is controlled automatically via satellite, as well as using inertial navigation for autopilot. The drone is equipped with instruments for monitoring the patient’s vital signs and transmitting data to operators - the rescuer and the mission leader. The possibility of video communication with the evacuee is provided. To maintain hygiene standards, the internal insert of the device can be replaced after each job.
Equipment complex
The Grille system includes not only the drone itself, but also a mobile operations control center, a special TROL trailer for transportation and maintenance, and the MEDC4I digital platform. All equipment is compactly placed in a six-meter container, and it takes only 15 minutes for two servicemen to deploy it.
Applications
Avilus developed the Grille as a military medical system designed to perform a number of critical missions. These include tactical evacuation of the wounded, transportation of patients between medical facilities, delivery of medicines and provision of assistance in high-risk areas. The use of such a drone can significantly increase the chances of survival and successful rehabilitation of victims.

Wow, this Grille tow truck looks impressive! 🚁 Imagine how it can change the situation in conflict zones. Rapid evacuation of the wounded is a real chance to save more lives.
Sophia
I agree, Oleksandr! I was especially impressed by the speed of deployment - only 15 minutes. In critical situations, every second counts. And the possibility of video communication with a patient is absolutely fantastic! 😮
Pierre
Wondering how this drone will perform in difficult weather conditions? 🌪️ After all, in conflict zones there is often unpredictable weather. I would like to know more about its resistance to wind and precipitation.
Isabella
Pierre, good question! I think the Avilus engineers certainly took this into account. I'm more interested in how the security of patient data is ensured during transmission? 🔐 After all, in military conditions, information protection is critically important.
Hans
Pfft, another expensive toy. Instead of spending money on these flying things, it would be better to invest in training doctors and improving existing hospitals. The good old methods have always worked and will always work. 😒
Sophia
Hans, I understand your skepticism, but technology can complement traditional methods, not replace them. Imagine how many lives can be saved by reaching the wounded in hard-to-reach places! 🏥
Miguel
And I was impressed by the load capacity - 135 kg! 💪 Not only can a person be evacuated, but also critical equipment or medicine can be delivered. I wonder if they plan to create a version for civilian rescue missions?
Oleksandr
Miguel, great idea! Imagine how such a drone could help during natural disasters or in inaccessible mountainous areas. I hope Avilus will consider adapting the Grille for civilian use. This would be a breakthrough in rescue operations! 🚀
