 These sensors are used in conjunction with the Air Traffic Awareness module to replace the need for human visual observers in BVLOS operations. 3D RADAR 400FT OPERATIONS Radar enables flights at or below 400ft, minimizing community noise complaints and greatly increasing sight 3D Radar unit picture. ADS-B IN 200FT OPERATIONS ADS-B detection, without radar, allows for flights at or below 200ft. AUTOMATED AIRCRAFT AVOIDANCE If an aircraft gets within a 1 mile radius of the drone, the Air Traffic Awareness module will visually alert the pilot via the flight screen and emit an audible noise. If the aircraft enters within a .5 mile radius, the drone will automatically descend to avoid the danger. PG 4  Software Flight Operations The Flight Operations Module allows a teleoperator to remotely control a drone with a 1080p feed, utilize night vision and thermal cameras, automatically navigate to locations, and constantly display weather and safety information. REMOTELY CONTROL UAVs CITY WIDE INTEGRATE CAD, ALPR, & MORE Control all the drones in the city with one interface, Use data from all integrated interfaces, including CAD, flying them safely and with complete awareness. ALPR systems, gun shot detection systems, and more. PG 5  SOFTWARE Spectator The Spectator Module allows patrol officers, watch commanders, dispatchers, real-time crime center staff, command staff, and any other individuals authorized by the agency to enhance their situational awareness, both before and while patrol units are on the scene. STREAM AGENCY-WIDE Both permanent and temporary access can be given via text message and email to watch the video feed. Every stakeholder in a call response can gain the situational awareness they need. VIEW ON ANY DEVICE The stream can be viewed through computer screens, televisions, smartphone, and tablet and requires very little connection strength for 1080p video quality. PG 6  SOFTWARE Air Traffic Awareness All airspace awareness sensors integrate into this central point to paint a complete picture of the airspace. The ATA Module is integrated with the flight operations screen, so the pilot can be notified of any potential conflicts. The drone can also be set to auto-mitigate threats if the pilot isn’t paying attention. RADAR, ADS-B, RID, RF SENSORS NO VISUAL OBSERVERS All of the sensors used to detect and track aircraft in The single greatest limiting factor to last-generation the area are fused into one pane of glass for a DFR has been the need for visual observers in order to seamless detect and avoid experience. Warnings can monitor the airspace. ATA allows the agency to remove then be easily communicated to the flight operations visual observers, turning DFR into a true force screen and pilot. multiplier. PG 7  SOFTWARE Flight Logs and Mission Reporting The Flight Log Module aggregates all historical flights, showcasing flight maps, durations, telemetry data, collected media, and mission reports in one location, facilitating compliance and easy data sharing. ALL FLIGHTS & RECORDED MEDIA MANAGE REPORTS AND METRICS After each flight, all of the flight details are logged. Any A mission report is automatically generated based on pictures and recordings taken during the flight mission CAD data associated with the mission. Details like can be viewed here and downloaded for proper chain response times, first on scene %, and more relevant of evidence procedures. data is collected and added to the dashboard. PG 8  SOFTWARE Community Engagement The Community Engagement Module features a public dashboard that automatically updates with redacted DFR flight details and success metrics, promoting transparency and accountability effortlessly. PUBLIC FACING FLIGHT LOGS Flight logs are automatically updated in the system, ensuring transparency by providing accessible, redacted flight data for community members. SUCCESS DASHBOARD Success metrics of the DFR program are displayed in real- time on a public dashboard, illustrating its positive community impact through quantifiable results.
