Fotokite specializes in developing autonomous aerial systems designed to assist first responders in emergency situations. Their patented technology integrates with fire trucks and public safety vehicles, allowing firefighters to deploy the system with a single button. Once activated, the Fotokite can ascend to heights of 45 meters, delivering critical real-time information through both thermal and standard video feeds. This capability enhances situational awareness without requiring additional personnel to operate the drone, as it operates autonomously. The tethered system ensures continuous power and data transmission, allowing for extended flight times exceeding 24 hours. The aerial data can be live-streamed to other team members at the scene or back at the station, facilitating better communication and more informed decision-making. By providing immediate and detailed insights upon arrival, Fotokite enhances the ability of first responders to assess incidents and deploy resources effectively.
