Problem
Emergency response teams often lack real-time situational awareness, leading to slower response times and potentially compromising safety during critical incidents such as law enforcement operations, wildfires, and search and rescue missions. Traditional air support is expensive, slow to deploy, and requires significant manpower.
Solution
Aerodome offers a drone-as-first-responder system that automatically deploys drones to emergency incidents within three minutes, providing real-time aerial intelligence to first responders. The system utilizes a network of drone stations, enabling rapid coverage across large areas. Drones are operated remotely, beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), using advanced detect-and-avoid technology, eliminating the need for on-site visual observers. Live video feeds, including optical zoom, thermal, and night vision, are streamed to emergency personnel, enhancing tactical awareness and coordination.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and search and rescue organizations seeking to improve emergency response times and enhance situational awareness.
