Periodic Reporting for period 1 - FOTOKITE-SME-P1 (Aerial Situational Awareness for Every Firefighter)
Período documentado: 2019-02-01 hasta 2019-05-31
Fotokite is a privately-owned SME (registered in 2014 as Perspective Robotics AG in Zurich, Switzerland). Fotokite’s mission is to develop and commercialize tethered Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to improve safety and lifesaving capabilities for firefighters and public safety teams. Fotokite systems fly autonomously and stream live thermal video to firefighters on the ground, providing mission-critical situational awareness to help lifesaving operations. Fotokite systems operate hands-free for 24+ hours and without GPS dependency, overshadowing modern drones with significantly less autonomy and shorter flight times. Fotokite can quickly and effectively turn that data into actionable insights and more efficient response to large-scale fires and disaster situations. Fotokite aims at bringing public safety dedicated UAS to the next level in four emergency areas: Scene Monitoring, Search and Rescue, Post Fire or Disaster Assessment, and Wildland Firefighting.
Fotokite’s value proposition to firefighting and public safety teams is unlimited flight time, automatic piloting, easy usability, low training thresholds, industrial quality and performance, fire truck integration compatibility, and live streamed thermal and visual video information for immediate on-site decision making and operational planning.
