Command and Control DFR Team oversight, every incident begins with enhanced response. Unknown incident scenes become intelligence-led scenes. Continuous visibility keeps officers and control room staff informed, protected, and in command.

Response vehicle deployment

With IDI drones carried in response vehicles, officers deploy directly from the scene to gain aerial or indoor visibility. This approach suits forces without dedicated remote pilots or control room capabilities, as well as rural forces, providing officers with the intelligence needed to create time and distance for safer incident management.

  • Direct deployment from response vehicles
  • No remote pilot required
  • Ideal for rural forces
  • Immediate aerial intelligence
