Airbus and Local Motors to develop drone service platform

Airbus Group and Local Motors announced the Phase II partnership, focusing on building the Airbus Drone Services Platform (ADSP).

The ADSP is a digital distribution platform for drone-based apps and services. The development of the ADSP began with a Rapid Co-creation Initiative at the InterDrone 2016 International Drone Conference and Exhibition held in Las Vegas, September 7-9.

Phase II is a continuation of the companies’ cooperation, which commenced in April 2016 and resulted in the highly successful “Airbus Cargo Drone Challenge”, a co-creation competition for the next generation of commercial drones.
