From traffic accidents to disaster relief, small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS)\u2014or drones as they\u2019re commonly known\u2014have tremendous potential to improve public safety. We at Aeryon Labs<\/a> are working with emergency personnel around the world to integrate sUAS technology into their day-to-day jobs. And as part of our work, we\u2019re partnering with Microsoft to demonstrate what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n Ever since Aeryon Labs Inc. was founded in 2007, our goal has been to make our products easy to use. Our customers use this technology in a wide range of scenarios and most of our users are not aviation pilots. They need a solution that enables them to focus on their job, rather than controlling the UAS. By incorporating our mission control software (MCS) into a Windows-based tablet, complete with intuitive touchscreen, our customers have an easy way to control their sUAS (and camera payload) using the everyday interface they\u2019re already familiar with.<\/p>\n More recently, Microsoft has developed the Microsoft Advanced Patrol Platform<\/a> (MAPP), which uses a prototype police vehicle to demonstrate how advanced technology can help police officers improve their work. Aeryon is contributing to this effort by equipping the prototype vehicle with an Aeryon SkyRanger<\/a> to show how high-quality aerial imagery obtained from an sUAS can help first responders perform their work more safely and efficiently.<\/p>\n So how exactly can sUAS raise the bar for public safety? Consider the following scenarios:<\/p>\n As a growing number of public safety organizations adopt Aeryon sUAS for these kinds of uses, many are turning to the Microsoft Azure<\/a> cloud platform to efficiently and cost-effectively store their video footage. Whether public safety agencies choose to store this data on-premises or in the cloud, Aeryon sUAS encrypt video footage as it\u2019s collected, ensuring its protection every step of the way.<\/p>\n een written about sUAS going mainstream\u2014and governments around the globe are paving the way by developing guidelines for the safe use of this technology. As public safety organizations put this technology to use, they\u2019re protecting their workers while better protecting the citizens they serve. In the end, the sUAS will prove a significant advance, one that helps communities more effectively guard against a wide variety of public safety threats.<\/p>\n To learn more, about the current state of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) regulations, please see our regulations webpage<\/a>.
