Public Safety

Eyes on Scene Before First Responders Arrive

Automated docked drones deliver aerial intelligence faster than ground crews, typically 2-10 minutes from dispatch, transforming emergency response from uninformed deployment to informed decisions.

From 911 dispatch to court-ready evidence in four stages

CAD-triggered drone launch sequence

One platform supporting core public safety mission areas

  • Aerial view supporting incident command decisions

    Emergency Response and Incident Command

    Provide live aerial visibility to assess hazards, track suspects, and support tactical decisions before ground responders arrive on scene.

  • Highway incident documented from the air

    Traffic Incident Management

    Reduce accident clearance time by 35% through immediate aerial damage assessment. Document scenes in 5 minutes versus 45 manual.

  • Critical infrastructure inspection from above

    Critical Infrastructure Monitoring

    Shift from annual inspections to weekly automated monitoring. Detect structural issues 50 weeks earlier, preventing catastrophic infrastructure failures.

  • Thermal search pattern across open terrain

    Search and Rescue Operations

    Search 100+ acres in 30 minutes with thermal imaging versus 50+ ground searcher hours. Deploy within 5 minutes of report.

  • Aerial oversight of a large public event

    Public Event Oversight

    Monitor crowd density and detect incidents within 30 seconds versus 5-10 minutes from ground observer reports using aerial oversight capabilities.

  • Wildfire perimeter mapped from aerial imagery

    Wildfire Detection and Monitoring

    Fires caught at under 1 acre have 90% containment rate. Continuous monitoring shows perimeter spread direction and structure threats.

  • Timestamped aerial evidence of a code enforcement case

    Illegal Dumping and Code Enforcement

    Identify violations within 24-72 hours versus weeks from citizen complaints. Timestamped geo-referenced evidence strengthens enforcement cases.

  • Post-disaster damage assessment from the air

    Post-Disaster Assessment

    Complete damage assessment in 1-2 hours city-wide. Thermal imaging identifies people trapped in structures safely.

It's really cool to go in there and just see that anytime there's a call, within a minute or two, they're out on-site with the drone. For them, the thing that makes them the most passionate is just being able to respond anywhere in the city at any time.

The emergency call center had a view of the incident before I was even there. No people in the water, no one trapped, and we avoided sending multiple units.

FlytBase AI agents built for public safety

FlytBase AI assists operators by automatically highlighting objects, details, and patterns in aerial footage, reducing manual review burden and helping operators make faster, informed decisions.

  • Multi-modal object detector classifying a scene

    Multi-Modal Object Detector

    Identifies vehicles, people, and heat signatures with count, type, and license plate details automatically during operations.

  • Severity classifier ranking an incident in view

    Incident Severity Classifier

    Assesses incident severity from visual indicators, enabling rapid triage and resource deployment decisions before ground arrival.

  • Evidence package generator assembling documentation

    Evidence Package Generator

    Combines video clips, images, GPS coordinates, and timestamps into court-ready documentation automatically without manual intervention.

  • Change detector comparing infrastructure baselines

    Infrastructure Change Detector

    Compares current imagery to baseline, flagging new cracks, vegetation growth, or equipment changes requiring immediate attention.

  • Crowd density heatmap across a venue

    Crowd Density Analyzer

    Generates real-time density heatmaps, identifying overcrowding risk zones, preventing crush incidents during public events automatically.

  • Thermal anomaly detector highlighting a hotspot

    Thermal Anomaly Detector

    Identifies heat signatures from fires, electrical hotspots, or people invisible to RGB cameras, especially during nighttime.

  • Fire perimeter mapped from overhead imagery

    Fire Perimeter Mapper

    Tracks fire spread direction, extent, and structure threats, providing real-time intelligence for firefighter safety decisions.

  • Perimeter intrusion detection alert

    Perimeter Intrusion Detector

    AI-verified unauthorized access detection with automated evidence packaging for incident response and security threat assessment.
