Drone Rover

Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) has designed and engineered a bespoke version of the new Land Rover Discovery which features a drone landing pad on the roof. The new “Project Hero” vehicle, which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show today (7 March), has been designed for the Austrian Red Cross and the vehicle will be trialled by the Red Cross emergency response teams.

In a statement issued today, the auto maker said: “Land Rover has supported the Red Cross since 1954 and supplied120 vehicles to the IFRC for deployment in all corners of the globe.

“Project Hero is the first with a roof-mounted drone. A fully integrated landing system featuring self-centring and magnetic retention technology is a world-first that enables the drone to land on Project Hero when the vehicle is in motion.”
