A paradigm shift is occurring in law enforcement as drones become an integral component of almost every aspect of law enforcement operations. Drones enhance safety and improve operational effectiveness by providing real-time situational awareness. Public safety agencies recognize this fact and have implemented drone (UAS) programs, with an estimated two-thirds of the United States evaluating the technology’s use. Given today’s law enforcement staff shortages and hazardous attacks on law enforcement officers, drones are an essential tool to safeguard those who serve and protect us.
By leveraging data and decision support from the AAI platform ecosystem, drones can safely interoperate with manned airborne systems.
