LTE-Enabled UAVs Empowering Public Safety
Drone as a first responder (DFR) technology giving first responders a live overhead view before they arrive on scene.
Drone as a First Responder (DFR)
Situational awareness & Deconfliction on 911 calls:
Without reliable and consistent information of a 911 emergency prior to arrival, first responders are not able to establish an effective plan in response to a dynamic situation. The live overhead view is the ultimate information gathering tool to promote a more safe and effective response.
Resource Allocation & A force multiplier
Departments around the country are experiencing staffing shortages causing a slower response time, straining valuable resources, and leaving a queue of calls in the CAD. With a DFR program, departments can get eyes on lower priority or pending calls and clear them, improving their response.
An Autonomous
Solution
Gather Intel, Plan Ahead, Execute On Arrival
Deploy drones autonomously to 911 calls
Access a live and controllable video feed
Gather valuable situational awareness before arrival
Share a live video feed with unlimited viewers
Eliminate the need for RPICs on rooftops
Allocate resources more effectively by clearing lower-priority CAD calls
“To have that unit overhead providing valuable information, intelligence, can be a game changer as to making sure we have good outcomes.”
Chief Ray Schultz, Memorial Village PD
Streamlined Call Response
RECEIVE CALL, DEPLOY DRONE, WATCH, CALL BACK
Receive 911 Call
Once a 911 call is received, the dispatcher immediately begins asking questions to assess the scene and gather as much useful information for first responders as possible. Simultaneously, they are relaying this information to them.
Having a live stream allows trained first responders to look for helpful information like a subject’s location, level of danger, crowds, etc.
Deploy UAS
Right when the call is answered, the caller’s location is sent to Watchtower, Paladin’s DFR platform. Then, with one mouse click, an LTE-enabled drone takes off and autonomously flies to the location, arriving in minutes.
Gather Intel
The drone reaches the scene before first responders, giving them a live stream of the scene on any internet-connected device. They can assess the scene while en route or personnel in a real-time crime center, dispatch, and/or specialized drone unit can quarterback the call for them by calling out key information. Watchtower provides situational information to help first responders plan ahead.
Control the drone’s flight and camera (zoom, thermal) all in one place with just a few clicks. There is no need for a remote controller or personnel on a rooftop
Return to Home
Once the call has been cleared, simply click ‘RTH’ and the drone automatically flies back to its home base. As the drone lands, flight data is automatically uploaded to Watchtower.

Applications in Your Industry
Police
Gain valuable situational awareness and intel like:
- Whether a response is needed
- If more units are needed
- Whether the suspect is armed
- Vehicle descriptions (make/model/license)
- Locations (ingress/egress)
Fire
Plan effectively before arrival and assess:
- Hot spots
- Structural integrity of a building
- Civilians at risk
- Ingress & egress points
- Potential points of entry
Sheriffs and
State Troopers
Respond more rapidly in rural expanses and better understand:
- Number of units needed
- Where the closest backup unit is located
- The possibility of coordinating a response from miles away via drone footage.
Security
Control multiple UAV’s across multiple locations for use cases in:
- Campus/Education
