Archer First Response Systems is supporting an EMS-led whole blood drone delivery program in Florida in partnership with Hillsborough County Fire Rescue, Tampa General Hospital, OneBlood, the University of South Florida Health Morsani College of Medicine and the Florida Center for Emergency Medical Services. The program is designed to deliver whole blood directly to severe hemorrhagic trauma scenes in under three minutes on average. The initial deployment will use ArcherFRS systems located at two Hillsborough County Fire Rescue stations and cover approximately 70 square miles. Whole Blood Drone Delivery Targets Trauma Response ArcherFRS systems will be stationed at Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Station 9 in the Faulkenburg/Sabal Park area and Station 37 in Riverview. According to ArcherFRS, the program is designed to deliver whole blood to emergency scenes in under three minutes on average across the initial service area. The company said whole blood drone delivery requires coordination across several operational areas, including: Temperature-sensitive payload handling Environmental controls Airspace and weather requirements 24/7 system readiness Remote pilot oversight Regulatory approvals Accessible delivery locations System maintenance Integration with emergency response operations ArcherFRS Provides Fully Managed Drone Operations ArcherFRS will operate the program as a fully managed service intended to reduce the operational requirements placed on the fire-rescue agency. The company will: Install and maintain Ground Control Hubs at participating stations Provide 24/7 system monitoring Provide piloting support Conduct airspace sanitization Support regulatory approval Verify weather conditions Conduct system health checks Perform monthly on-site maintenance Paramedics at emergency scenes will be able to request deliveries using mobile devices. According to ArcherFRS, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue will retain operational control and Certificate of Waiver authority while the company manages the supporting drone infrastructure and services. “Whole blood at the scene in under three minutes changes the equation for hemorrhagic trauma,” said Gordon Folkes III, Founder and CEO of ArcherFRS. “What makes this possible for Hillsborough County Fire Rescue is not just the aircraft — it is a fully managed system designed so agencies can focus on patients while we handle the complexity of keeping the capability ready, safe, and integrated. Partnering with Tampa General through our Champion Hospital program is how we help communities access these tools.” Tampa General Supports Champion Hospital Partner Program The initiative is part of ArcherFRS's Champion Hospital Partner Program. Through the program, Tampa General Hospital worked with ArcherFRS and Hillsborough County Fire Rescue to introduce the pre-hospital capability to the agency. ArcherFRS said the model is designed to bring hospitals, emergency agencies and clinical stakeholders together to support access to emergency medical technologies when agency funding remains uncertain. “Strong partnerships and tight alignment between hospitals, fire rescue, and technology partners create a more robust continuum of care,” said Michele Moran, Senior Vice President for Emergency Services at Tampa General Hospital. “When we work together this way, we move critical interventions closer to the patient and give first responders the tools they need to improve outcomes long before the hospital doors.” Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Adds Drone Delivery Capability According to Hillsborough County Fire Rescue Chief Todd Carnell, the managed-service approach allows the agency to deploy the capability without creating a separate department. “ArcherFRS has made a powerful capability easily available to our agency and puts a true force multiplier in the hands of our crews without requiring us to stand up a new department,” Carnell said. “That allows us to stay focused on delivering better and faster service to the citizens we protect.” Program Builds on Existing Florida Drone Operations The whole blood drone delivery program builds on ArcherFRS's previous work in the region. According to the company, ArcherFRS has worked with Manatee County EMS and Tampa General Hospital on 911-integrated delivery of AEDs and Narcan. ArcherFRS systems can carry payloads including: AEDs Narcan EpiPens Whole blood Other critical medical supplies Payload capacity is approximately 6.5 to 7 pounds. The systems can operate during the day or night under appropriate conditions and provide approximately 35 to 50 square miles of coverage per hub. The new whole blood drone delivery program will combine Hillsborough County Fire Rescue's EMS operations with ArcherFRS's managed drone logistics system and clinical partnerships to provide rapid delivery of blood to severe trauma incidents across the initial Florida service area.
