Emergency drones

Improved planning of emergency and rescue operations

A drone can fly over the scene of the accident within minutes. The information collected by this ‘flying eye’ enables all agencies involved to be deployed efficiently and in a coordinated manner.

Mount rescue operations faster
and more safely.

The remote-controlled drones enable the emergency services to assess the accident site or crime scene quickly and comprehensively, providing a knowledge advantage that permits more precise deployment planning. With drones distributed across all urban areas of Switzerland, reconnaissance flights can be made within a matter of minutes. The rapidly available information enables all agencies involved to be deployed efficiently and in a coordinated manner. The safety of first responders on site is increased through the use of air hazard monitoring sensors. This greater deployment speed helps save lives.
