Skyfire Consulting, the public safety UAS consulting group, announced it has launched Skyfire Response — a solution for Drone First Responder (DFR) programs. DFR programs are the deployment of drones that enhances response to emergency situations and adds an element of safety for public safety agencies and the community. DFR programs aim to decrease response times, provide situational awareness, and increase efficiency.
Skyfire Response leverages Skyfire’s partnerships with hardware, software, drone-in-a-box and data analytics providers to allow agencies with existing UAS programs to upgrade to a DFR response; and new agencies to start with ease.
Included within Skyfire Response is an exciting new partnership with Echodyne — the radar platform company, that designs and delivers high-performance compact, solid-state radars based on the company’s patented metamaterials ESA technology. Skyfire and Echodyne aim to provide complete airspace awareness for public safety and in turn offer truly remote flying without a visual observer.
Skyfire Response will come in three tiers – Gold, Silver and Bronze – and will vary based on the amount of coverage needed, hardware, software and level of autonomy.
