UK Start-Up To Aid Food Insecurity Efforts In Madagascar
Windracers, a UK-based UAV manufacturer, has been awarded a contract by the World Food Programme to support humanitarian efforts in Madagascar, where 1.7 million people face high levels of acute food insecurity. The company’s heavy-lift drone, ULTRA MK2, has received praise for its operational capabilities, including its use in supporting Ukrainian troops. The World Food Programme has a long-standing presence in Madagascar, and drones are already being used to deliver food and humanitarian supplies in hard-to-reach areas. This collaboration was first reported by AeroTime.
