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.
