Fotokite supports federal agencies across the U.S. and overseas with rapidly deployable, persistent aerial awareness for complex missions.

From base and force protection to border and perimeter security, disaster response, public safety operations, and critical incident monitoring, Fotokite helps teams gain real-time visibility without adding unnecessary burden to the mission.

Unlock the power of persistent aerial awareness through seamless integration.

The Fotokite API Program enables public safety, defense, and enterprise teams to connect Fotokite’s live aerial data into the systems they already use supporting faster access to real-time visual intelligence, improved situational awareness, and more connected operations.

Summer brings bigger crowds, longer days, and faster-moving incidents.

From major event monitoring to incident response, public safety teams need real-time visibility without adding complexity to the operation.

Fotokite gives responders an elevated, continuous view of the scene so command teams can monitor crowd movement, spot hazards, assess fire conditions, and support safer decision-making all without manual piloting.

Aerial awareness shouldn’t require a drone program to get started.

Fotokite is built for public safety teams that need eyes above the scene quickly, without adding pilot burden, complex workflows, or long training cycles.

During hands-on training, teams can go from setup to live aerial overwatch fast giving command staff a safer, clearer view when the situation is still unfolding.

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.

Fotokite is heading to XPONENTIAL 2026.

This week, our team will be exhibiting at AUVSI XPONENTIAL in Detroit, where leaders across autonomy, public safety, defense, and enterprise technology will come together to discuss what’s next for unmanned systems.

We’re also hosting a panel discussion:

Persistence is the Mission: Scaling Continuous Situational Awareness Across Defense, Public Safety, and Enterprise

📅 May 13 | 11:00 AM

We look forward to seeing you there.

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
