5 MSF: Supply Constraints Isolated Places Difficult Transport Key for good treatment

6 Example: Papua New Guinea MSF + Ministry of Health - Tuberculosis Collect TB sputum samples

7 Bringing TB Sputum samples is complicated Outreach Locations Difficult Access UAV regulation & Acceptance MSF + MoH project 2 Way trip No Drop Quadcopter 15km range

8 <2kg Opportunities Blood Vaccines Anti Venom Lab Samples Oxytocin

9 2kg Emergency ResponseKits Water Treatment 10k liters 1kg Flocculant 500gr Chlorine Pool Tester Com's Kit Cell Phone Repeater Satellite Phone Satellite Internet

10 SO WE WANT TO USE DRONES

11 Requirements: Operator

12 REQUIREMENTS: CONTROL Automatic & Simple use

13 REQUIREMENTS: MAINTENANCE Reliable & Easy Maintenance

14 Vert Take Off REQUIREMENTS: RANGE VS CONTROL 80Km & Auto Take Off & Land Long Range Vert Land

15 REQUIREMENTS: RANGE VS CONTROL

16 REQUIREMENTS: RANGE & CONTROL

17 Aviation 1917

18 UAV VTOL 2017

19 Complexity Sustainability - Reliability Concorde Douglas DC Concorde failed to meet its original sales targets Today Grass & dirt runways First plane to obtain benefits commercial passengers

20 Complexity Sustainability - Reliability Space Shuttle Soyuz (R7 & Spacecraft) NASA: The most complex machine ever built: 2.5m parts, 370km wire... Rocket: Today Spacecraft: Today

43 What s Next? We Robotics -> Focus on Reliable and proven Hardware MSF -> Divide and Conquer Remote Sample Collection and small deliveries (<0,5kg) Rigi Tech -> 2-3kg & 15 liter payload: km. 2-3 deliveries/day with 0,5USD/Km Polyvalent Solution for hubs (>2kg) (requires minimum volume)

44 MSF: Divide and conquer Initially looking for an all around polyvalent solution Automatic use Long range Minimum of 2kg 2 way deliveries No need of professional pilots Simple maintenance Safe and reliable Affordable Civil Aviation Acceptance Local Community Acceptance

45

46 VTOL s were new and untested VTOL s were expensive 45k USD for 2kg of payload Cheap versions were not reliable yet 2kg payload means 10-25kg machines High Risk in Security Assesment Non professional pilots is a dream Most stuff in the market aims to do everything Imagery, surveillance, mapping and cargo Not optimized for cargo BVLOS + Heavy drones is tough Trials and feasibility tests are

47 Solution? Divide Self Operations in remote area Small VTOL < 3kg, 0,5kg payload and 65km range 2 liters of volume 1.3m Foam structure Cheap but reliable Low Risk Outsourced operations Medium VTOL 3 deliveries/day > 10kg<25kg > 2kg payload and 100km range > 15 liters of volume More expensive construction Highly Reliable Aiming for manned aviation standards

48 Small for: Sample collection, snakebite, 1 blood unit, specific treatment for a patient, small resupply Very remote areas Reduced payload volumes Self operated cargo drones Non professional operators Tight Budgets Operators are not Early Trials and Demos Civil Aviation Acceptance Low Risk if accident

54 UNIVERSAL DRONE LOGISTICS Connecting rural communities

55 THE PROBLEM Rural communities lack reliable road infrastructure. Sparse density increases cost and accessibility of express deliveries. Rural growth is limited by access to large markets.

56 THE RIGITECH SOLUTION Drones connect rural communities by air..50 per KM Individual packages can be delivered at a cost of 50c/km. Reverse drone logistics allow rural goods to reach urban markets.

57 DRONE-BASED SUPPLY CHAIN

58 THE RIGI DRONE Locally maintained Durable Autonomous Cargooptimized drone Reverse logistics

59 THE BUSINESS MODEL Low drone acquisition fees result in early profitability for operators. A per-delivery fee ensures continued revenue during delivery operations.

60 MARKET SIZE $ 272 BN $ 11 BN $1.5 BN Express courier market size 2018 Expected drone logistics market 2022 RigiTech target market
