19Labs' transformative GALE | Force drone, equipped with Starlink and NVIDIA AI, opens new markets for medical deliveries and emergency response to one billion people in rural communities around the world. The GALE | Force drone was developed in partnership with IDB Lab, the innovation and venture arm of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and successfully completed its first commercial flight in Guyana on June 3rd, 2025, delivering medications to and bringing back lab samples from the remote community of Muritaro.

19Labs and the Guyanese Government plan to expand the service to all of Guyana’s rural hinterland in early 2026. 19Labs is also in advanced discussions with additional governments to bring GALE | Force service to other countries around the world.

“The GALE | Force drone opens tremendous new markets that go far beyond medical supplies, including, for example, completely transforming Emergency Response,” said Ram Fish, CEO, 19Labs. “GALE | Force drone is the industry's first and only all-in-one integrated solution that empowers governments to survey the emergency scene remotely, provide connectivity to first responders and deliver the essential supplies they need.
