(TSXV: FLT) (OTC: TAKOF) (\n \n Frankfurt\n \n : A2AMGZ) or (Frankfurt: ABB.F) (the \"Company\" or \"DDC\") is pleased to announce that on\n \n November 6\n \n \n th\n \n , 2020 it successfully completed Phase Three of its AED (Automated External Defibrillator) On The Fly project with Peel Region Paramedic Services and Sunnybrook Centre for Prehospital Medicine.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n On\n \n June 26\n \n \n th\n \n , 2019, and\n \n July 6\n \n \n th\n \n , 2020, the Company had announced 100% successful Phase One and Phase Two, respectively, testing. Phase Three also utilized the Sparrow, with its cargo drop capability and audio announcement system, to drop an AED where a designated untrained (lay) bystander would then retrieve the AED and apply it to a simulated cardiac arrest patient in a rural environment. Response time to drop, retrieve and apply an AED, and physiological and psychological human factors in a stressful situation were measured during the testing.\n \n \n Additionally, remote launch and monitoring from the Company's\n \n Vaughan, Ontario\n \n Operations Control Centre (\"OCC\"), and nighttime delivery of an AED by drone were successfully tested. The testing validated that using DDC's proprietary drone delivery platform with cargo drop functionality to deliver rapid first responder technology via drone may reduce response time to cardiac arrest patients in the field while being utilized by lay responders.\n \n \n Simulated 911 call locations were electronically sent to the Company's OCC for drone launch. The Sparrow drone flew automatically from a Peel Paramedic station in\n \n Caledon, Ontario\n \n to the destination and back. Real-time remote monitoring occurred from the Company's OCC using DDC's proprietary FLYTE software system...
