Today, Fotokite announced the release of its fully autonomous aerial intelligence product line, the Fotokite Sigma, alongside its distribution partners in Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. Intellitronika, Desautel Group, Emergency One, Excelerate, Primetech, Growag and Brandschutztechnik Schlichtiger, has already begun supplying European Firefighters and Public Safety teams with the Fotokite Sigma for gathering fully automatic situational awareness at emergency response sites throughout Europe.
European Public Safety teams are starting to receive fully autonomous aerial intelligence technologies for use at their emergency response sites. The Fotokite Sigma, an actively tethered UAS equipped with thermal and low-light imaging capabilities, launches at the push of a button and never requires any piloting whatsoever while providing incident commanders with elevated situational awareness throughout their responses. With this brand new product category, Public Safety teams now have access to aerial intelligence on a regular basis, from any vehicle, without the need for dedicated drone pilots on-site.
