AI-Powered Virtual Visual Observer for Public Safety

When lives are on the line, every second counts. DedroneBeyond enables public safety agencies to deploy Drone as First Responder (DFR) solutions without requiring on-site visual observers. Remote Pilots in Control (RPIC) can operate drones safely from command centers while DedroneBeyond serves as a virtual visual observer, ensuring compliance and airspace safety.

AI-Driven Sensor-Fusion vs. Simple Data Correlation

DedroneBeyond goes beyond basic data correlation by dynamically integrating multiple sensor inputs for superior accuracy and reliability.

ADS-B: Tracks cooperative aircraft flight paths and identification for safer navigation.

Best-in-Class Machine Learning

Powered by the largest annotated data set, fastest machines, and latest learning algorithm to enhance detection accuracy—virtually eliminating false alarms and filling coverage gaps.

Radar:  Provides precise range and movement tracking for accurate aircraft positioning.

RemoteID:  Captures the drone's unique ID, current location, altitude, velocity, and the location of the remote control.

Cameras: Enables visual identification and classification, differentiating drones from other aerial objects.

Long-Range Detect-and-Avoid System (DAA)

Our multi-layered approach ensures real-time BVLOS awareness, improving safety, minimizing false alarms, and building confidence in DFR (Drone as First Responder) missions.
