Aerodome produces the latest equipment to improve safety and efficiency for public safety agencies.
Aerodome, a company focused on developing drone-as-first-responder (DFR) technology, has announced major improvements to its DFR 2.0 system. New features, designed to increase situational awareness and improve communication, include Aerovision, Aerodome Mobile Apps, and Community Engagement Dashboard. These tools aim to simplify the work of public security agencies and increase transparency to the public.
Aerovision: Augmented Reality for Better Decision Making
Aerovision is a new feature that reduces the mental load for drone pilots, helping them stay focused on important tasks during DFR work. The app uses augmented reality (AR) overlays on the plane’s screen to provide important information, such as street names, locations of 911 callers, and other important landmarks.
Covered sections on the streets keep people from thinking ‘Which street am I looking at?'” Aerodome explains, adding that the signs help pilots know where license station readers and where to go back. This information allows pilots to make decisions quickly and communicate effectively with their teams.
With Aerovision, pilots benefit from:
- A streamlined process with fewer clicks to access important data.
- Real-time tracking of calls for service (CFS) and automatic license plate recognition (ALPR).
- Points that cover the area to travel in unfamiliar areas.
This feature, a top request from Aerodome customers, will soon be available to all users at no additional cost.
Aerodome Mobile Apps: Food and Real-Time Notifications
To improve communication, Aerodome launches its Mobile App for Android and iOS. The app provides live DFR feeds and notifications, enabling teams to stay connected from anywhere. The app combines features that were previously available with mobile web browsers, providing additional convenience and functionality, such as push notifications for new or completed tasks.
Whether in the field or at a remote tactical operations center, officers and commanders can receive live video and telemetry messages from Aerodome drones. The tool also supports possible alerts for specific types of CFS or pre-existing conditions, ensuring quick responses to future incidents.
“The new Aerodome Mobile App will improve your team’s situational awareness, improve communication, and provide faster response time,” said Aerodome, highlighting the app’s ability to make drone deliveries accessible.
Community Engagement Dashboard: Building Trust with Transparency
Aerodome’s Community Engagement Dashboard is designed to enhance transparency between public safety agencies and the communities they serve. By sharing real-time flight metrics and change logs, the dashboard allows departments to demonstrate the effectiveness of their DFR programs.
Key dashboard features include:
- Metrics like average drone response time and how often the drone was the first responder in the area.
- Organize flight details, including a map of each task and its rationale.
- Dashboard updates based on airline flight reports.
“Building trust and community is essential for any drone program,” Aerodome emphasized, explaining that the dashboard provides an easy way to show accountability without adding additional administrative work. .
Looking Ahead: Continuing Improvements for Public Safety
Aerodome remains committed to advancing its DFR technology. These new features—Aerovision, Mobile Apps, and the Community Engagement Dashboard—are part of a broader effort to improve safety and communication for public safety agencies. The company encourages interested organizations to learn more about how these tools can help their operations.
