Russian Post, together with Rusdronoport, will test the delivery of mail to ground stations for drones.
Drone ports will be equipped with the functions of package lockers – they will have an automatic cover landing surface for receiving items delivered by drones. Customers will be able to use droneport as a post office and receive parcels from there. Two types of drone ports will be tested for packages, three and eight cells.
Each station will be burglar-proof and closed. It will have a climate control system for optimum temperature conditions. Only signal amplification antennas, video cameras and an external block of the weather station will be removed.
Sergey Sergushev, Deputy Director General of Russian Post Logistics, says droneports will help reduce wait times for customers and speed up delivery “to the last mile.” The state company sees these as an important element of robotizing logistics and turning it into a single process.
