  • DroneSense Announces Plans for a Secure Communications Solution for Public Safety Drone Operations

    DroneSense Announces Plans for a Secure Communications Solution for Public Safety Drone Operations

    NDAA-compliant onboard computer in production as an end-to-end solution for increasing security and autonomy to enable the future of Drones as First Responders with remote and independent flight.


    AUSTIN, Texas, April 11, 2023 (Newswire.com)
    –
    DroneSense, the leading software platform for drones in public safety, announces plans to design and manufacture a secure, National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) compliant, drone-agnostic device that is designed to extend operational and geographic capabilities and provide information security measures for public safety drone operations.

    This onboard device will be added to DroneSense’s existing portfolio of software, hardware, and professional services designed for public safety drone operations. This solution would operate as an add-on to popular public safety drones, like a backpack computer, and will act as the brain of the drone. It will operate with First Responder traffic prioritization, or FirstNet radio frequency, and 4G/5G data connectivity to remotely command and control aircraft, bypassing the existing radio frequency link used to operate drones from the ground. Additionally, the device provides secure real-time live streaming and end-to-end 256-bit data encryption to maintain security for all public safety information.

    “We’ve seen drone operations bring immediate value to public safety, directly saving lives,” said Christopher Eyhorn, CEO of DroneSense. “Ten years ago, only the largest agencies had access to aerial situational awareness with helicopters or crewed aviation. More recently, drones introduced the opportunity for any agency to get aerial intelligence with increased safety and dramatically lower costs for a much wider range of emergency incidents. Our goal is to equip public safety agencies with the best tools possible to help them do their jobs and ensure the safety and data integrity of their missions. This device is the next step in advancing drone technology to increase security and overall greater utilization of drone operations globally.”

    In addition to improving data security, this solution is beneficial for flights where the drone is flown beyond visual range of the operator, commonly referred to as beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), by leveraging existing 4G/5G networks over proprietary RF protocols used on ground controllers. Furthermore, it puts additional intelligence onboard the aircraft to enable altitude limits, no-fly zones, and emergency landing sites even if the drone loses its connection. This will be especially valuable in regions with maximum radio frequency power limitations that limit the range of existing drone controllers. 

    “DroneSense lives by our mission to support and improve outcomes for public safety and first responders,” Eyhorn says. “There has recently been a great deal of attention paid to the use of drones in public safety, with some legislators proposing blanket bans on drones manufactured in certain countries due to information security and data sovereignty concerns. We fully support the need to protect American national security and have designed this product to meet those needs and give agencies maximum choice when selecting the best tools to do their jobs. There are many technologies, like cell phones for example, that we utilize every day which are developed in other countries but rely on U.S.-made software to provide robust security for sensitive data. DroneSense onboard will provide a similar solution for drones.”

    This product is currently in concept and plans are accelerated to enable availability in late 2023. This drone-agnostic solution will be compatible with multiple drone hardware devices, with plans to expand to non-drone platforms, including manned aviation and robotics in the future.

    –
    DroneSense (www.dronesense.com), developers of the most trusted and reliable software platform for public safety drone operations, today announced the general availability of DroneSense Remote and Axon Air Remote powered by DroneSense. This breakthrough technology allows public safety agencies to remotely operate and deploy drones in emergencies, giving first responders a real-time view of what is happening before they arrive at the scene.

    Many public safety agencies have drone programs where officers or firefighters operate a drone on scene while responding to an incident. Drone as a First Responder (DFR) programs go further, providing vital situational awareness on calls for service even before personnel arrives on scene. This approach protects both communities and public safety by giving agencies more time and information to determine the most appropriate response to a situation. The system retains detailed records of every flight, so that agencies can easily maintain transparency and accountability regarding their use of the technology within the communities they serve.

    Agencies looking to start a DFR program now have everything they need for remote operations, thanks to DroneSense and Axon Air powered by DroneSense. DroneSense Remote and Axon Air Remote allow agencies to respond to any 911 call within seconds, with a single mouse click. The platform enables a teleoperator to remotely pilot drones from anywhere and aims to improve tactical decision-making and improve efficiency with fewer officer dispatches. Additionally, Axon Air Remote works seamlessly with Axon Evidence, Axon’s digital evidence management system, and Axon Respond, Axon’s real-time operations solution.

    “We are excited to offer first responders the most advanced and comprehensive remote flying experience through DroneSense and Axon Air,” said Chris Eyhorn, CEO of DroneSense. “DroneSense Remote is leading the industry with innovation and support for more drone models than any other platform, allowing agencies of all sizes and budgets to increase officer safety, improve incident response time, and achieve better outcomes.”

    With thousands of operational flights across leading agencies over the past few months, DroneSense Remote and Axon Air Remote have set a new bar for speed and precision in public safety remote drone operations and established an exciting new option for modern policing. The platform allows agencies to create fully-customizable flights to fit their needs, including flying DFR missions Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) under an FAA waiver or remaining within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) under an existing Certificate of Authorizations (COA) or Part 107 regulations. Built-in preflight checks, simple user interface, customizable geofences, continuous network integrity monitoring, and emergency landing sites create the industry’s safest approach for demanding operational environments. DroneSense Remote and Axon Air Remote even adjust for elevated takeoff locations to ensure strict adherence to designated flight altitudes.

    “DroneSense Remote is the platform that has enhanced our drone program,” said Sgt. Daniel Anders with the San Antonio Police Department. “We now utilize drones to respond to calls for service much faster than we can with other assets.“

    DroneSense Remote is available for the DroneSense platform, and Axon Air Remote is available for the Axon Air powered by DroneSense platform. DroneSense and Axon Air Remote applications work with public safety’s most popular drones, including the DJI Matrice 300, Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual and Zoom, and DJI’s new Matrice 30 and Mavic 3 Enterprise series drones.
