The use of unmanned drones for mountain rescue and vegetation index monitoring is expected to grow, increasing the need for drone stations for landing and battery charging.

At the 2023 Unmanned System World Congress (UWC), Bololand Co., Ltd. showcased its drones and stations to the attendees.

A company representative introduced a mountain rescue demonstration project based on unmanned drones and stations. He explained, "When a mountain rescue is requested through a smartphone app, the rescue signal is shared with the fire department, police, and drone stations. Once the rescue is approved in the drone control room, the unmanned drone moves from the station to the location of the rescue target."

Additionally, the drone that locates the rescuee can notify them of the rescue team's arrival time, helping to reassure the rescue target. It can also transmit the location and condition of the rescuee to the rescue team via video, increasing the efficiency of the rescue. Furthermore, if the battery level is low, the drone can return to the station for automatic charging or battery replacement before continuing the mission.

On the other hand, UWC 2023, held from the 21st to the 23rd at COEX (C, D Halls) in Seoul, attracted over 100 domestic and international companies and organizations with a total of 471 booth spaces.
