SEATTLE, June 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Axon (Nasdaq:
AXON), the global leader in connected public safety technologies
and DroneSense, the leading software platform for drones in public
safety, today announced a strategic partnership to provide public
safety agencies with an end-to-end drone software solution,
including piloting, administration, evidence management and live
streaming.
Axon will implement DroneSense's piloting, program management
and operations solution via Axon's unmanned aircraft program, Axon
Air. DroneSense will also integrate its offering with Axon's
digital evidence management platform, Axon Evidence, and real-time
operations hub, Axon Respond, to provide agencies with a
comprehensive solution to start and operate a drone program. This
integration will streamline first responder and drone pilot
communications — allowing live streaming from the UAS into Axon's
real-time operations platform and digital footage to be stored in
Axon's evidence management platform.
"As a long-time partner with Axon in developing drone
live-streaming and UAS management tools, I am excited about the
company's latest collaboration with DroneSense," says Lieutenant
Chris Miller at Escondido Police
Department. "The service provides excellent live streaming with
minimal latency, a user-friendly pilot interface and record-keeping
tools that are vital in managing a law enforcement unmanned
aircraft systems unit. This is another example of Axon's commitment
to use technology to make officers and community members
safer."
"We're laser-focused on making it easy for agencies and the
communities they serve to safely adopt and benefit from a drone
program," says Axon Air General Manager, Aydin Ghajar. "We are impressed with the
DroneSense product and team. They make it simple to fly with one
piloting application for most drones on the market and maintain all
the administration tools to keep agency programs compliant with
regulations. We're excited to make this solution available to Axon
customers, and to have it be deeply integrated with Axon Evidence
and Axon Respond for evidence management and real-time situational
awareness."
"DroneSense is proud to join Axon in their mission to protect
life," says Christopher Eyhorn, CEO
of DroneSense. "We quickly recognized the alignment between Axon's
mission to protect life and our mission to help public safety
organizations make faster, better, and safer decisions by
effectively harnessing the situational awareness that drones can
offer. We're confident that the combination of our platform and
Axon's digital evidence management and real time communications
platform will be the most comprehensive UAS offering available in
market."
The integrated solution will be available to customers through
Axon, branded as Axon Air Powered by DroneSense, in the third
quarter of this year. Existing Axon Air customers will have a
seamless transition and upgrade to Axon Air Powered by
DroneSense.
