HEADLINING:

DroneSense helps the nation’s leading public safety, government, and critical infrastructure organizations successfully manage life-saving drone programs simply, securely, and reliably – all on one integrated software platform.
In April of 2022, DroneSense launched a powerful new tool for public safety agencies to get a drone on scene faster and more safely than ever before. DroneSense Remote (DSR) is a “Drone-as-First Responder” platform that radically expands the capabilities of the DroneSense Web interface to enable remote operators to assume control of the drone to perform flight operations.
Drones as First Responders (DFR) applications (and remotely flying drones from anywhere) will be featured in their keynote and demonstrations.
