# Drone as First Responder

The future of air support for public safety.

## Faster. Safer. Smarter.

78%  
of service calls are first responded to by Flock Aerodome drones.

20%  
of calls are resolved without dispatching patrol.

86s  
average time to reach calls for service

89%  
increase in subjects located.

Advanced Drones & Sensors

View a plate from up to 1,000 feet away. See more with ultra-high-res thermal + night vision. Fly longer, faster, and farther than any other system.

Durable and Dependable Docks

Built to withstand extreme heat, cold, wind, dust, and rain. Stay in the air longer with rapid charging and battery swapping options.

Best-in-class 3D Radar

Unlock 400-feet beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations with ruggedized radar to detect aircraft 24/7 and fly safely.

## Next-Gen DFR Available Now

Flock Aerodome is an all-in-one, fully automated air support system that provides rapid responses to enhance the safety of communities and officers. Advanced DFR is here today, and it's faster, more efficient, and more effective than ever.

Built for public safety

- **Law Enforcement**  
  Rapid aerial visibility for faster police response, improved situational awareness, and safer outcomes.

- **Fire Response**  
  Live overhead views to rapidly assess situations, allocate resources, guide crews, and locate hot spots.

- **Search & Rescue**  
  Thermal imaging and wide-area aerial searches to locate missing persons quickly and guide response teams.

## The Future of Rapid Response

Drones are stationed across your service area, ready to respond instantly. Gain unmatched situational awareness with a live aerial view that improves collaboration, de-escalates incidents, and saves lives.

Key features

- **Flight UI**  
  Remotely pilot your drones with HD feed, night vision, and thermal camera. Automatically and safely navigate to locations across your jurisdiction using data from integrated systems.

- **Air Traffic Awareness**  
  Using integrated sensors, you get a complete picture of your airspace to fly safely and confidently.

- **Spectator Stream**  
  Give patrol officers, watch commanders, dispatchers, RTCC staff and other authorized stakeholders situational awareness that only a drone can provide.

- **Flight Log & Mission Report**  
  Flight data is aggregated automatically to show historical flights, maps, durations, telemetry, collected media, and reports in one location for compliance and easy data sharing.

- **Community Dashboard**  
  This public dashboard is automatically populated with redacted DFR flight details and success metrics, promoting transparency and accountability effortlessly.

- **Aircraft & Payload**  
  Fly faster, farther, higher, and longer than ever before. Get to more calls and see what others can’t with the most advanced drone and camera system available for public safety.

- **Docking Station**  
  Choose between battery-swapping or contact-charging docks, which are fully automated and weatherproofed to maximize your drone's uptime without requiring a human on the roof.

- **3D Radar**  
  Used in conjunction with the Air Traffic Awareness software to replace the need for human visual observers and enable flights up to the maximum altitude of 400 ft for optimal DFR operations.

- **FAA Regulatory Work & Safety Plan**  
  Expert assistance in airspace analysis, risk mitigation, and securing FAA waivers for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations.

- **SOP & Policy Consulting**  
  Support in developing or modifying existing operating procedures and policies for your drone program.

- **Comprehensive DFR Training**  
  Detailed training covering remote ops, safety protocols, data management, and emergency deployment strategies.

- **Integrations with Existing Technology**  
  Identification of optimal workflows and integration with CAD, RTCC, ALPR, and gunshot detection software systems.

- **Community Engagement**  
  Support with community engagement to foster transparency and trust, starting long before the first flight.

## Flock Aerodome In Action

Automatic drone response to emergencies

Deploy from the dock to geo-coordinates of 911 calls, LPR hits, gunshot detection, or manually by the operator.

Live video for emergency personnel

Broadcast live video, including zoom, thermal, and night vision, allowing multiple stakeholders to maintain tactical awareness.

Multiple drones, one operator

Control multiple drones and docks with a single operator, providing continuous air support for the entire city.

Automated operations

When battery runs low, drones can be replaced by another automatically, and battery swapping docks keep you flying more.

Streamlined flight reporting

Auto-generate flight logs and mission reports at the end of every flight to satisfy all FAA and internal agency reporting requirements.

Community transparency

Automatically upload real-time flight metrics and redacted flight logs to a public-facing dashboard for effortless transparency.
