Manisonias Inc. (Headquarters: Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture, Representative Director: Ayako Hashimoto) announced that it has been selected for Fukushima Prefecture's FY2026 "Regional Revitalization Practical Application Development Promotion Subsidy, 1st Public Offering, Continuation."
The adopted theme is:
"Practical Application Development of Drones for Logistics and Disaster Response in Mountainous Areas and Regional Aerial Wifi Network Infrastructure Construction."
In this project, we will promote the practical application development of aircraft for the social implementation of medical logistics drones in mountainous areas, as well as infrastructure for building a regional aerial Wifi network that supports remote drone operations and information gathering during disasters.
Furthermore, we will work on development with an eye toward emergency response applications, including information gathering, material transportation, and fire extinguishing support during forest fires and disasters, in addition to peacetime logistics uses.
Manisonias, based in Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture, is developing domestic drone systems that contribute to solving regional issues and disaster prevention/mitigation. Through the implementation of "sky-based disaster prevention infrastructure" that supports regional logistics in normal times and can be repurposed for disaster response in emergencies, we aim to create a sustainable, community-rooted mechanism.
Moving forward, while steadily advancing development and demonstration for practical application and commercialization, we will continue to challenge the social implementation of technology and mechanisms that "protect tomorrow's smiles."
About the Adopted Project
Adopted Project Name
FY2026 Regional Revitalization Practical Application Development Promotion Subsidy
1st Public Offering, Continuation
Adopted Theme
Practical Application Development of Drones for Logistics and Disaster Response in Mountainous Areas and Regional Aerial Wifi Network Infrastructure Construction
Main Contents of the Project
In this project, we will promote practical application development combining drones and communication infrastructure to address logistics and disaster response challenges in mountainous areas.
Specifically, we will proceed with the development of drone aircraft for medical and other material transportation, the development of infrastructure for building a regional aerial Wifi network to support remote drone operations, and verification for applications such as information gathering, material transportation, and firefighting support during disasters.
Background
In mountainous areas, unique regional challenges such as population decline, aging, maintenance of logistics networks, and risk of isolation during disasters are becoming apparent.
Particularly during disasters, road closures and unstable communication environments can delay damage assessment, material transportation, evacuation support, and firefighting activities.
To address these challenges, manisonias aims to build regional infrastructure that can be utilized in both normal and emergency times, by combining the aerial accessibility of drones with its independently developed communication and control technologies.
Manisonias' Vision for "Sky-Based Disaster Prevention Infrastructure"
Manisonias aims for more than just drone aircraft development.
Our goal is to build a system that, in normal times, serves as regional logistics infrastructure supporting the transportation of medicines, specimens, and sanitary products, and in emergencies, can be repurposed for disaster information gathering, material transportation, rescue support, and firefighting support.
By integratedly developing drone aircraft, communication devices, and remote operation systems, we will promote the social implementation of disaster prevention and mitigation solutions tailored to local conditions.
Representative's Comment
We are pleased to announce our selection for the FY2026 "Regional Revitalization Practical Application Development Promotion Subsidy."
Manisonias, based in Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture, is committed to developing domestic drone systems that contribute to rescue support during disasters and solving regional issues.
In mountainous areas, multiple challenges overlap, including peacetime logistics issues and, during disasters, material transportation, communication assurance, and information gathering. We aim to implement "sky-based disaster prevention infrastructure" in the region, utilizing drones and communication infrastructure for both normal and emergency times.
From Fukushima, we will steadily advance development for practical application and commercialization to deliver technology that supports regional safety and security nationwide.
