DroneSense provides a centralized software platform for public safety and critical infrastructure organizations to manage and collaborate around drone operations. The platform ingests real-time data from drones and makes it accessible to first responders, enabling situational awareness, coordinated actions, and faster decision-making during emergencies. It supports a full drone program—data collection, flight operations, security, and governance—through subscriptions and service agreements. Unlike general drone software, DroneSense focuses on law enforcement, fire services, emergency management, and government clients, offering integrated tools for mission planning, data sharing, and multi-agency collaboration. The company’s goal is to help responders achieve safer outcomes and save lives by providing reliable, secure, and easy-to-use drone management at scale.
