When every second counts, IDI get you on scene.
Transform response capabilities with a Drone as First Responder (DFR) programme designed for UK policing.
DFR: Enhanced capability for your force.
Respond to incidents in seconds, day or night. Deliver live aerial intelligence directly to response officers and your control room, or resolve incidents without deploying resources. IDI DFR enhances operational effectiveness, providing unprecedented speed, safety, and efficiency for UK policing.
Rapid response capability, when you need it.
IDI systems deploy in under 60 seconds and automatically reach incidents within minutes, managing multiple simultaneous incidents when required. IDI missoin planner ensures every flight follows the active route, giving your a critical operational advantage when every second counts.
Complete situational awareness.
IDI command and control, IDI DFR provides continuous live video feeds to response officers and control room staff. Everyone shares the same real-time perspective, enabling safer, more coordinated decision-making across your force.
Mulit-Agency Live Stream Share.
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
