Exploring drones for your public safety agency?

For first responders and agencies exploring drone programs, understanding the value of aerial situational awareness is the first step.

Drones can help teams see more, respond faster, and make better-informed decisions when every second matters.

We broke down how drones are being used across fire, law enforcement, search and rescue, and emergency response operations.

Emergency scenes change fast. Fire conditions shift, suspects move, and weather can create new hazards in minutes. First responders need accurate information right away to make safe and informed decisions. Traditional ground-level visibility often limits what teams can see during an active incident....

Federal operations require real-time visibility when it matters most.

The 105th Airlift Wing introduced the Fotokite Sigma+ at Stewart Air National Guard Base to enhance emergency response and elevate situational awareness on base.

Introducing the Fotokite Sigma+

The new standard in persistent aerial awareness—built for real-world operations and designed for critical moments.

• Enhanced GPS performance
• Advanced thermal capabilities
• Seamless API integration

This week, the Fotokite team is on the road at two key events:

📍 LEDA | May 5–8 | Ogden, Utah
📍 GLEC | May 5–7 | Gatlinburg, Tennessee

We’re connecting with leaders across public safety, emergency response, and critical operations to show how teams are using real-time intelligence in the field.

If you’re attending either event, stop by and connect with our team for a demo.

One of the biggest challenges for drone pilots isn’t getting eyes in the sky, it’s keeping them there when conditions change.

Batteries run out, pilots rotate, GPS becomes unreliable, and coverage gets interrupted—usually when decisions matter most.

That’s where persistent aerial awareness changes the game.

Continuous overwatch. Rapid deployment. Reliable intelligence—without adding complexity to the mission.

Because better decisions start with better visibility. Learn more at fotokite.com

Another incredible week at FDIC 2026.

From reconnecting with customers to meeting new teams looking for smarter, safer ways to operate, it was a strong reminder of why persistent aerial awareness matters.

We had great conversations around how Fotokite supports fire service, emergency response, and public safety teams with rapid deployment, continuous overwatch, and real-time situational awareness when every second counts.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and took time to see what’s next for Fotokite.

The momentum continues.

Leading the way in the Las Vegas area.

The Henderson Fire Department is the first in the region to deploy drone technology to support fire response operations—bringing real-time aerial visibility closer to the scene and helping locate victims faster.

This is a major step forward in how departments respond, make decisions, and protect lives.

Proud to support Henderson Fire as they set the standard.
