Aerodome deploys cutting-edge tools to improve safety and efficiency for public safety agencies.
Aerodome, a company focused on improving drone-as-first-responder (DFR) technology, announced major upgrades to its DFR 2.0 system. Designed to increase situational awareness and improve communication, these new features include Aerovision, the Aerodome mobile app, and a community engagement dashboard. These tools are intended to streamline the operations of public safety agencies and increase transparency to the public.
Aerovision: Augmented reality to improve decision making
Aerovision is a new feature that reduces cognitive load on drone pilots and helps them stay focused on important tasks during DFR missions. The tool uses an augmented reality (AR) overlay on the flight screen to provide important information such as street names, 911 caller locations, and other important markers.
“Street overlays take the guesswork out of ‘what street am I looking at?'” Aerodome explains, adding that the markers will help pilots track license plate reader hits and return to their destination. added. This information allows drone pilots to make quick decisions and communicate effectively with their teams.
With Aerovision, pilots benefit from:
- Streamlined workflows with fewer clicks to access important data.
- Track Call for Service (CFS) and Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) hits in real time.
- Overlaid geographic information to navigate unfamiliar areas.
This feature, which has been one of the most requested by Aerodome customers, will soon be available to all users at no additional cost.
Aerodome Mobile App: Real-time feeds and notifications
To enhance communication, Aerodome releases mobile apps for Android and iOS. This app provides live DFR feeds and notifications to help your team stay connected from anywhere. The app integrates functionality previously available through mobile web browsers and provides improved convenience and additional features such as push notifications of new or completed missions.
Whether in the field or at a remote tactical operations center, officers and commanders can access live video and telemetry streams from Aerodome drones. The app also supports customizable alerts for specific types of CFS or priority levels, allowing you to quickly respond to high-priority incidents.
“The new Aerodome mobile app will enhance your team’s situational awareness, improve communication, and further reduce response times,” Aerodome said, highlighting the app’s potential to enable access to drone feeds on the go. I did.
Community Engagement Dashboard: Building Trust with Transparency
Aerodome’s Community Engagement Dashboard is designed to foster transparency between public safety agencies and the communities they serve. By sharing real-time flight metrics and compiled logs, the dashboard allows departments to demonstrate the effectiveness of their DFR programs.
The main features of the dashboard are:
- Metrics such as a drone’s average response time and how often a drone was the first responder on the scene.
- Automatically categorized flight logs with maps and reasons for each mission.
- Automatically update dashboards based on pilot flight reports.
“Building trust with the community is essential for any drone program,” Aerodome emphasized, explaining that the dashboard provides an easy way to demonstrate accountability without adding additional administrative effort. .
Looking to the future: Continuous improvement for public safety
Aerodome remains committed to advancing DFR technology. These new features (Aerovision, mobile app, and community engagement dashboard) are part of a broader effort to improve safety and communication for public safety agencies. The company encourages interested government agencies to learn more about how these tools can benefit their operations.
