Urban-Air Port partnering with the EIS Council
We are excited to share that we are partnering with the EIS Council to develop Urban-Air Port's specifically designed and developed for use in Disaster, Emergency Management, & Security (DEMS) responses to be known as “Resilience One”. The companies will form a long-term strategic collaboration to plan, design and operate DEMS response vertiports, among other things.
UAP creates, designs and develops new forms of infrastructure for use by new forms of sustainable urban air transportation and mobility solutions. The EIS is a leader of global resilience planning in all sectors, including the implementation of all-hazard resilience solutions.
The parties will utilize their respective expertise for the furtherance of Resilience One and will collaborate on the design of a Resilience One Prototype. In addition, EIS will collaborate on UAP's "Air One" project currently underway in Coventry, UK. Air-One is the world's first fully operational vertiport and will be operational in early 2022 for a 4-week demonstration period.
The parties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to explore the purchase of a full-scale, operational prototype Urban-Air Port, the site for installation of such a vertiport at a location to be determined. UAP will become EIS’s preferred partner for the development of vertiports for drones and eVTOL, globally.
Ricky Sandhu, Urban Air-Port Ltd, Chairman:
“As we continue to expand the capabilities of Resilience One in response to growing global catastrophes, we have entered into a new strategic partnership with the EIS Council. Together we will advance our agile, off-grid EVTOL infrastructure combined with the world’s most resilient and secure communications system underwritten by the EIS Council. We will pioneer a hybrid technology that marries both traditional economic and productivity goals, but also functions as rapidly deployable emergency air infrastructure anywhere in the world”Avi Schnurr, EIS President and CEO:
“We are delighted to be part of the Resilience One project. This unique verti-port, coupled with best-in-class, all hazard protection and communication systems, will make it possible for emergency managers, utilities and other stakeholders to quickly move information and critical resources wherever needed in a disaster -- without depending on legacy infrastructure that may be unavailable.”
