AXON Elevate Real Time Operations

ELEVATE REAL-TIME OPERATIONS

NEXT-GEN DRONE AS FIRST RESPONDER (DFR) SOLUTIONS FOR SAFER, SMARTER COMMUNITIES Axon Air offers a comprehensive suite of hardware, software and partner integrations designed to enable agencies of all sizes to start and effectively scale drone programs, ranging from patrol-led deployment models to Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs.

Deployment Models

THE POWER OF DRONE AS FIRST RESPONDER (DFR)
DFR technology is revolutionizing emergency response, providing rapid aerial intelligence that dramatically enhances situational awareness, improves decision-making and increases safety for both first responders and the communities they serve.
This innovative approach enables swift deployment of drones to incident scenes, often arriving before ground units, offering real-time insights that optimize resource allocation and significantly boost the efficiency and effectiveness of public safety operations.

BENEFITS

FASTER RESPONSE TIMES
Accelerate emergency response by deploying drones immediately upon receiving a 911 call, ensuring rapid arrival at scenes and timely information gathering.

ENHANCED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
Obtain real-time aerial intelligence and live streaming, allowing comprehensive assessment of emergency scenes, often before ground units arrive.

OPTIMIZED OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY
Improve response effectiveness by deploying drones to gather crucial information before dispatching ground resources, optimizing resource use and decision-making.

DECREASE CALL VOLUME
Agencies report that drones arriving first on scene can reduce in-field call volume. Drones provide essential situational awareness, determining in 20-30% of cases that an officer is not needed.

STREAMLINED RESOURCE ALLOCATION
Utilize actionable intelligence to prioritize and deploy personnel and equipment efficiently, ensuring optimal resource planning and avoiding over- or under-deployment.

IMPROVED SAFETY FOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND CIVILIANS
Enhance safety by providing real-time visibility and critical information that supports informed decision-making and reduces the need for immediate human intervention in hazardous situations.
