Active incident overflight
Triggered on dispatch event. Imagery streamed to control room and incident commander within 90 seconds.
Drone-as-
first-responder.
Auto-launch on dispatch. Live aerial video to incident command before the first vehicle arrives.
Auto-launch on dispatch alerts. Live aerial intelligence to incident command before patrols arrive. Search and rescue, wildfire perimeter, and post-disaster citywide assessment.

APPROACH
The drone-first response layer above existing patrol, fire, and rescue assets.
Drones launch automatically on 911 / 112 dispatch alerts. The CAD integration sends the closest available aircraft toward the call coordinate while the first patrol unit is still rolling. Live video lands on the dispatcher's console before ground arrival.
MISSION CATALOG
Seven recurring missions.
Search & rescue grid
Programmed grid sweep with paired thermal and visual sensors. Covers a foot-team shift's worth of ground in roughly half an hour.
Crowd & event monitoring
Standoff coverage of festivals, demonstrations, and stadium egress. Density and choke-point anomalies surface in seconds.
Collision scene capture
Photogrammetric documentation of the full debris field. Roadway clears in a fraction of the time a tape survey would take.
Code enforcement patrol
Routine flights along beats, parks, and ROW corridors. Violations surface inside a day with timestamped, geo-referenced imagery.
Wildfire & flood recon
Continuous coverage of the fire front and flood margin. Perimeter polygons and structure-threat tags update every flight.
Post-disaster rapid assessment
Block-by-block aerial sweep across affected districts in the hours after a storm, flood, or quake. Roof, façade, and roadway damage tiers are tagged so triage crews and insurers move on the same map.
DEPLOYMENT TIER
Two ways to subscribe.
Shared
Network service
For municipalities within 10km of an Aerion node. Multi-agency node infrastructure. Standard dispatch-launch and patrol cadence. Faster onboarding.
Dedicated
Private network
Dedicated node for metro forces and emergency services requiring 24/7 dispatch coverage, search & rescue capacity, and audit-grade evidence preservation. 8-12 week deployment.
WHAT WE DETECT
Continuous detection across the operational envelope. Findings flagged in your dashboard with audit-grade evidence trails.
DETECTION · 01
Drone-as-first-responder
Auto-launches the closest available node toward a 911 / 112 call coordinate. Live stream is on the dispatcher's screen before the first patrol car rolls.
DETECTION · 02
Person-of-interest tracker
Sustained classification across rooftops, alleys, and forested terrain. Holds track through partial occlusion and lighting changes.
DETECTION · 03
Crowd-density estimator
Real-time count and heatmap for festivals, demonstrations, and stadium egress. Surfaces bottlenecks before they become incidents.
DETECTION · 04
Missing-person thermal sweep
Trained for human signatures across forest canopy, snowfield, and water margin. Auto-tags candidate hits for the spotter to verify.
DETECTION · 05
Wildfire perimeter mapper
Tracks flame edge and isolates spot fires across multi-hectare scenes. Outputs a perimeter polygon for the IC every flight.
DETECTION · 06
License-plate read
High-altitude OCR with confidence thresholds. Read events log against the active call only. No dragnet.
DETECTION · 07
Public-event situational AI
Flow analysis, queue length, and abnormal-cluster detection across stadium, parade, and protest deployments.
DETECTION · 08
Evidence chain-of-custody
Per-frame cryptographic timestamping and geo-seal. Defensible in court, exportable to RMS without re-encoding.
DETECTION · 09
Post-event damage classifier
Scores roof loss, façade cracks, debris fields, and blocked roadways across district-scale sweeps. Outputs a graded damage layer that aggregates into a city-wide priority map for triage and insurance loss adjusters.

WHY AERION
Three reasons operators choose us.
01
Built for Nordic conditions
Cold-tolerant to −30 °C. Weather-rated for continuous outdoor operation. No seasonal interruption when winter operations are when monitoring matters most.
02
Owned infrastructure, managed service
We own every node, drone, and operations center on the network. Customers subscribe to outcomes, not equipment: continuous monitoring, audit-grade documentation, real-time alerts. We handle hardware, regulatory work, and 24/7 operations. You receive insights.
03
EU data sovereignty
All flight data, imagery, and detections are stored in Estonian and EU data centers. Aligned with GDPR LED 2016/680 and EU NIS2 from the ground up.
