Get eyes on scene faster with real-time drone integration

Respond faster, arrive safer, and transform your agency’s operations by connecting live data with your DFR program

A Unified Platform for Smarter Response

Existing DFR programs suffer from disconnected data silos. The RapidSOS and Skydio partnership solves this by embedding live, verified 911 data directly into Skydio Command, creating a real-time, bi-directional connection for maximum efficiency.

THE CHALLENGE

Fragmented, Delayed Intelligence for DFR Programs

Manual Workflows: Dispatchers have to toggle between multiple screens and systems, such as CAD and drone user interfaces.
Slowed Decision Velocity
Operators must process either delayed CAD data or juggle many audio streams.
Delayed Information: DFR programs rely on delayed information from CAD systems, not live 911 intelligence.
Manual Workflows
Sharing updates amongst DFR, RTCC, and 911 agencies is difficult.
Incomplete Situational Awareness: First responders often operate with incomplete information, forcing them to enter unknown, high-risk situations.
Incomplete Awareness
Incomplete information forces first responders into high-risk, unknown situations.
Inefficient Triage: Without live 911 data, drones cannot effectively assess and clear low-priority calls, which means patrol staff are unnecessarily dispatched.
Inefficient Triage
Decisions based on outdated data waste resources and slow response time.

Fragmented systems prevent you from achieving the fastest possible time-to-scene with aerial intelligence.
THE SOLUTION

A Real-Time Bi-Directional 911-to-Drone Connection

The RapidSOS and Skydio integration transforms your DFR program from a reactive tool into a proactive, intelligence-led operation, delivering unmatched speed and safety.
