About Haast Autonomous
Haast Autonomous is developing an aircraft-and-software system for time-critical medical logistics. The vehicle layer is paired with dispatch, routing, monitoring and fleet tools so a hospital, laboratory or pharmacy can request a movement and follow the mission through one operating interface. The target payloads include blood products, medicines, diagnostic samples and other items whose clinical value can be affected by slow or unreliable ground transport.
The company’s network model is designed around repeated routes between healthcare sites rather than one-off drone flights. Software assigns missions, tracks aircraft status and provides the operational record needed to integrate delivery into existing clinical workflows. Haast is developing the system in New Zealand and raised USD 1.85 million in pre-seed funding in 2026 to advance the aircraft and operating platform. Its commercial proposition is the complete managed logistics layer, combining autonomous vehicles with the software and procedures required to run a healthcare delivery network.
