Swedish specialized drone services company successfully controlled the delivery of an automated external defibrillator (AED) from a distance of 800 kilometres – and to an entirely different country. The 1.6 km drone delivery of an AED flew a five-minute route to Helsinki, Finland, but was controlled by technicians 800KM away in Gothenburg, Sweden. The mission was the first UAV delivery of an AED piloted from a different country, and one of the few de facto cross-border drone operations in the European Union.
