DRONERESPONDERS

I'll be joining the Public Safety Drone Review on Tuesday, August 4 at 3:00 p.m. ET. The show is hosted by Miriam McNabb of DroneLife, Chief Charles Werner, EFO of DRONERESPONDERS, and Michael O'Shea. It brings together people actually doing this work, which is why I like it. We're going to talk about how public safety leaders can evaluate and implement emerging technologies, the challenges agencies face as AI and drone capabilities advance, and how to manage the organizational change that comes with both. My take going in: the technology is rarely the hard part. Governance, training, staffing, and community trust are what determine whether a program lasts past the first year. It's free and open to anyone. Registration and details are in the DRONELIFE writeup below. Come with questions. https://lnkd.in/gM-7G9Ch

🚁 The best drone program lessons may not have come from industry at all. 👨🚒 Public safety agencies have spent the last decade building mature UAS programs with proven SOPs, safety management systems, pilot training, BVLOS operations, airspace coordination, and drone detection strategies. Now, those same lessons are helping shape the future of enterprise drone operations. In his latest two-part series, Jason Day recaps key takeaways from the DRONERESPONDERS Emergency Management Forum at the Energy Drone & Robotics Summit, exploring why public safety may have already written the playbook for scaling safe, secure, and successful drone programs. 🌐 As more organizations share the same skies, collaboration, common standards, and shared experience are becoming just as important as the technology itself. 📖 Read the series on Autonomy Global and see what enterprise UAS leaders can learn from those who've been flying critical missions for years.
