Surveillance without an operator, or 24/7 strategy for services

DJI Dock 3, the latest automated drone-in-a-box docking station, is designed to enable uniformed services to conduct 24/7 drone operations without the request for an operator in the field. The system, being developed under the Drone as First Responder (DFR) concept, allows the drone to automatically take off and supply situational awareness images to a command center even before a ground patrol arrives. Solutions of this kind are already being utilized by services in the United States and the United Kingdom, among others, where they are expected to support reduced consequence times and increased situational awareness.
