"Humanitarian organizations should engage in initiatives like the Humanitarian UAV Network." - United Nations (OCHA) Policy Brief
With over 3,500 members in 120+ countries, our mission is to promote the safe, coordinated and effective use of UAVs for data collection and cargo delivery in a wide range of humanitarian and development settings. We do this by developing and championing international guidelines for the responsible use of UAVs. We actively promote operational safety and document lessons learned and best practices. We never self-deploy. We only mobilize at the request of established aid and development partners. We actively promote community engagement & educate UAV operators. We convene Experts Meetings and facilitate information sharing, coordination and learning across all our efforts. Our pilot roster includes 600+ UAV pilots in 70+ countries.
Our objectives are thus five-fold: establish clear standards for the responsible use of UAVs and provide up-to-date regulatory information; document lessons learned and best practices; provide hands-on UAV training; inform UAV deployments during disasters; and catalyze research & information sharing.

Introducing DJI FlyCart 30, our first delivery drone.
DJI FlyCart 30 is a powerful lifter built for long distance transportation of heavy cargo. In dual batteries mode, it can carry 30 kg and deliver it to destinations 16 km away with a maximum flight speed of 20 m/s. In single battery mode, it can carry a max payload of 40 kg up to 8 km.
DJI FlyCart 30 is highly robust, so you can deliver what’s needed, where it’s needed, when it’s needed. With IP55 protection, a -20° to 45° C (-4° to 113° F) operating temperature, and a max flight altitude of 6000 m, it’s built to perform in extreme environments.
DJI FlyCart 30 is highly safe and reliable. With built-in redundancies, intelligent obstacle sensing, an integrated parachute, and intelligent safety features, you can work safely from takeoff to landing. DJI O3 Transmission maintains steady signal and connections up to 20 km, and Dual Operator mode can extend its range further.
DJI FlyCart 30 is flexible and adaptable, so you can deliver in dynamic conditions. With Cargo mode and Winch mode, you can safely deliver to a variety of destination and terrain types. Payload SDK invites developers to adapt FlyCart 30 for custom applications.
