Ulsan Fire Department, ‘Flight for Citizen Safety’ themed drone competition

On the 8th, the Ulsan Fire Department held a 'Powerful flight for citizen safety!' at the Nammun Square of Ulsan Grand Park. The '5th Ulsan Mayor's Cup Drone Competition' will be held under the theme of 'Ulsan 119'.

This competition was designed to improve drone operation skills and inform citizens about drone culture.

About 100 people from 15 organizations, including students, general citizens, and public institution officials, will participate in the competition.

The competition will be held in the form of a fire drone demonstration and an opening ceremony, followed by four events in three categories: student division, general division, and public institution division.

The competitions include pop drone competition (battle), drone obstacle running (racing), human search in a collapsed building, and chemical information search.

Through today's competition, the fire department plans to demonstrate the possibility of using drones by focusing on performing missions assuming actual disaster situations.

We plan to vividly convey the role that fire drones play at disaster sites through a competition to find people in collapsed buildings and search for chemical information.

At the competition site, side events will be held, such as an experience program where citizens can enjoy directly controlling a drone, and an exhibition where they can see cutting-edge drones, including Ulsan-type urban air traffic (UAM) and fire-fighting specialized heavy-duty drones.
