Product details
DedroneBeyond
DedroneBeyond is an AI-powered, ground-based detect-and-avoid (DAA) system that enables public safety agencies to conduct Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations without on-site observers. It integrates sensor fusion, machine learning, and FAA-validated technology to ensure safe, scalable, and compliant Drone as First Responder (DFR) missions in complex urban airspace.
Features
- Virtual Visual Observer: Replaces human observers with automated, real-time airspace monitoring.
- Sensor Fusion: Combines radar, ADS-B, Remote ID, and visual data for comprehensive detection.
- FAA-Aligned Validation: Independently tested to ASTM F3442M-23 standards for BVLOS safety.
- Real-Time Alerts: Provides early warnings of nearby aircraft to prevent mid-air collisions.
- Custom Alert Logic: Tailored notifications based on mission parameters and risk thresholds.
- Long-Range Detection: Detects aircraft up to 9.45 km away with zero missed detections.
Capabilities
- BVLOS Operations: Enables drone flights up to 400 feet AGL without visual observers.
- Airspace Awareness: Maintains situational awareness in mixed-use environments.
- Mission Integration: Seamlessly connects with dispatch, command centers, and drone fleets.
- Scalable Deployment: Supports expansion across jurisdictions with minimal re-approval.
- Autonomous Decision Support: Enhances response time and operational confidence.
Benefits
- Faster Emergency Response: Drones can arrive before personnel, improving situational assessment.
- Reduced Risk: Validated safety systems protect both ground personnel and airspace users.
- Operational Efficiency: Eliminates rooftop observers and manual surveillance duties.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets FAA standards for safe BVLOS operations.
- Public Trust: Builds credibility with stakeholders through proven safety performance.
