Problem
First responders, police, and fire departments often lack real-time aerial situational awareness because deploying and operating drone fleets requires specialized skills, costly pilots, and slow response times, limiting their ability to detect and assess threats quickly in dangerous environments.
Solution
Data Blanket offers a rugged, autonomous drone system that can be launched by personnel without flight experience and provides continuous AI-driven intelligence from the sky. Integrated machine‑vision and computer‑vision models analyze sensor data in real time to detect, identify, and track threats, delivering actionable insights directly to responders. The platform operates 24/7, fusing multi‑view detections to maintain situational awareness over large areas while the drones remain on‑site or mobile. By eliminating the need for dedicated pilots and reducing deployment latency, the system enhances safety and decision‑making for high‑risk operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are fire departments, police precincts, and emergency‑services agencies that need rapid aerial intelligence for incident response and public‑safety operations.
