Key Points:
- The "Big Dipper" expedition trip marked the first time a private company completed precision airdrops into remote Alaskan facilities.
- DASH System's technology and hardware were designed to advance and enable precision airdrop deliveries in rural, remote, and difficult-to-reach locations without the need for landing.
- 82 percent of communities and towns in Alaska do not have access to all-weather roads forcing food and packages to be flown into small local airfields.
- We created DASH to rethink logistics and shipping for communities like these by bridging the sky and the ground."
