Holistic Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
solution helps streamline compliance processes, provides near
real-time Situational Awareness, and delivers practical, mission
critical operational tools in one platform; Partnered with KSI Data
Sciences, Inc., Airborne International Response Team (AIRT)
AiRXOS, a leading provider of Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM)
solutions, today announced the commercial availability of a new
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) solution for Public Safety
agencies. The Public Safety UAS Solution provides a comprehensive,
single source platform with safety and operational tools and
services built-in, allowing Public Safety agencies to fly quickly
and with full Situational Awareness of manned and unmanned
operations.
The solution provides customers simplified processes, practical
operational tools and operational oversight in one centralized
solution, from digitizing agency workflows – streamlining
compliance and flight authorization processes – to providing
airspace advisories, video streaming, and full Situational
Awareness. The Public Safety UAS solution, available as both a
mobile application and web-based solution, helps eliminate the need
for multiple applications and labor-intensive flight
authorizations, as well as improves airspace visibility and
compliance tracking.
“Public Safety represents one of the most challenging use cases
for drones. To be effective, they need to deploy the drone as
quickly as possible,” states Mark Lanphear, senior vice
president, Global Sales and Business Development with AiRXOS.
“Public Safety agencies needs an all-inclusive, easy to use
solution with three critical ‘must haves’ – one, compliance; two, a
full suite of practical, accessible operational tools, and three,
full Situational Awareness, so they can command both manned and
unmanned airspace whilst delivering critical position and video
data to everyone involved in the operation. This new Public Safety
UAS Solution removes the time burden through automated processes,
reduces risk, and strengthens controls in one, simple
solution.”
Public Safety UAS Solution Piloted By More Than 200 US Public
Safety Agencies
AiRXOS began rolling out the Public Safety UAS Solution earlier
in the year in a pilot environment and currently has more than 200
US Public Safety agencies using the solution. Users include Los
Angeles City Fire Department, Washington State Department of
Transportation, and Larimer County, Colorado Sheriff’s Department,
representing a cross-section of Public Safety agencies using UAS
solutions. From highly urbanized cities, to county and state
agencies, UAS is widely recognized as a strategy and a technology
assisting Public Safety operations.
"It is essential that Public Safety UAS Remote Pilots have a
complete Preflight Checklist and Airspace Authorization tool to
rapidly gain safe and legal access to the National Air Space,”
states David Danielson, Firefighter/Paramedic and sUAS Lead
Remote Pilot, Los Angeles City Fire Department. “Having access
to an efficient and time-saving application that enables our team
to get operational - while meeting the necessary Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations and risk mitigation process - is
the standard to fly safely during emergency incidents.”
“Washington State uses drones in multiple ways, and we continue
to see innovative methods being added all the time– airport mapping
and obstacle identification is our latest endeavor,” says David
Fleckenstein, Director Aviation, Washington State Department of
Transportation. “Where we once used what now seems antiquated
surveying tools, we can now use aerial mapping at less cost with
precision data. If we can do something safely and quicker with a
drone that once required putting someone in closer proximity to
harm’s way, we not only improve the lives of our public safety
personnel but also the members of the public that benefit from the
service they provide.”
AiRXOS’ Public Safety UAS Solution brings together a set of
capabilities that reside on AiRXOS’ Air Mobility™ Platform and
include:
- Waivers, Exemptions, COAs, SGIs, LAANC: In automating
regulatory and policy compliance, the Public Safety UAS Solution
helps Public Safety agencies quickly obtain the necessary FAA
Waivers, Exemptions, Certificates of Authorizations (COAs), Special
Government Interests (SGIs), and Low Altitude Authorization and
Notification Capability (LAANC) approvals needed for controlled and
uncontrolled airspace operations. From ConOps definition, location
assessment to classify and assess air and ground risk, to
allocation of safety plan and requirements to the major systems,
the Public Safety UAS Solution can help Public Safety agencies
kickstart operations with efficient safety and compliance.
- Automated Advisories: A key feature of the Public Safety
UAS Solution provides Public Safety agencies with automated
airspace advisories, giving agencies, in the palm of their hand,
the capability to quickly authenticate users, and then create and
distribute airspace advisories from anywhere there is an internet
connection, and push out those advisories to media, public and
commercial Unmanned Aircraft (UA) operators, and other agencies as
needed.
- Integrated Video Streaming and Remote Collaboration:
Powered by KSI Data Sciences, Inc., the live video streaming
provided in AiRXOS’ Public Safety UAS Solution is an industry
leading, highly secure UAS and iOT streaming solution proven and
tested to ensure low latency and high definition with instant
access needed for time-critical operations. Streaming video and
telemetry from UAS, robots, and iOS devices in near real-time gives
Public Safety agencies complete Situational Awareness. The ability
to add users on the fly into a comprehensive collaborative
environment allows agencies to place more eyes on the scene,
providing additional assessment, coordination, and response options
for any situation.
- Command Center: AiRXOS’ Public Safety Solution equips
agencies with full Situational Awareness of all operations
regardless of location, for a 360-degree view of manned and
unmanned activity, as well as the ability to overlay department
critical data layers into one picture. When combined with high
definition video streaming from UAS platforms, operators can
quickly assess situations remotely and deploy resources faster with
increased efficiency.
- UAS Program Design: AiRXOS understands that before a
drone program can be fully operational, agencies may need help in
designing the optimal solution for UAS operations. AiRXOS will
bring aviation and UAS expertise to help public safety agencies
with all their planning and operational needs no matter which stage
you are in your program.
“AiRXOS’ Public Safety UAS Solution is the latest innovation
based on our longstanding work with the FAA, Public Safety
agencies, and our partner ecosystem,” says Ken Stewart, CEO,
AiRXOS. “Public Safety agencies want and need flexible,
easy-to-use tools that deliver compliance expertise, broad
visibility, and provide enough support to do their job quickly and
efficiently - helping reduce costs and risks, and in some
instances, help save lives. We deliver on that with the new Public
Safety UAS Solution.”
AiRXOS Ecosystem Supports Public Safety Agencies
In addition to AiRXOS’ own solutions, the company also works
with ecosystem partners’ KSI Data Sciences, Inc. and Airborne
International Response Team (AIRT) to provide Public Safety
agencies with flexible, integrated applications and services.
AiRXOS additionally participates as a member of the National
Sheriffs’ Association UAS Working Group established earlier this
year to create a template that governs law enforcement’s use of
UAS.
“AiRXOS provides Public Safety agencies with the kind of secure,
comprehensive and yet easy-to use system that they have been
looking for,” says Jon Gaster, CEO, KSI Data Sciences. “We
are delighted to be able to contribute to an outstanding solution
from a world-class organization.”
“The new Public Safety UAS solution from AiRXOS is a
game-changer for First Responder drone operations,” says
Christopher Todd, Executive Director, Airborne International
Response Team (AIRT). “Emergency response remote pilots can’t
afford to waste time toggling between multiple software
applications when lives are on the line. They need a reliable,
one-stop solution that can handle the mission at hand.”
“Drones have multiple applications that can be useful to assist
Sheriffs’ offices,” states Jonathan Thompson, Executive
Director/CEO of the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA). “NSA
is thrilled to have AiRXOS as a valuable member of our UAS working
group, which ensures the safe operation of drones while protecting
the privacy rights of our citizens.”
