FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UVT, in Collaboration with uAvionix, DroneSense, and DJI, Partners with the Arlington Police Department to Launch an Advanced Drone and Robotics Program, Bolstering City Response Efforts.
Arlington, TX – 11/1/24 – UVT, alongside industry leaders uAvionix, DroneSense, and DJI, has officially partnered with the Arlington Police Department (PD) to establish an advanced Drones as First Responder (DFR) program. Designed to meet the fast-paced demands of Arlington’s entertainment district, this innovative drone system is set to enhance public safety and response times at key venues like Cowboys Stadium and Choctaw Stadium.
UVT’s expertise as the lead integrator enabled Arlington PD to assemble a powerful, cohesive ecosystem by coordinating all technology, regulatory, and operational elements. From vendor partnerships to securing an FAA BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) waiver, UVT streamlined the entire implementation process, ensuring Arlington PD has a fully operational drone system that can respond immediately when seconds matter.
Technology Highlights
- uAvionix Casia-G: This critical detect-and-avoid system was essential in securing the FAA BVLOS waiver, providing Arlington PD with extensive, real-time airspace awareness. Casia-G sensors, strategically positioned throughout the operating area, allow for full coverage and autonomous drone operation even in high-traffic airspace, marking Arlington as a pioneer in deploying advanced DAA technology for city-wide surveillance.
- DJI Enterprise Dock: UVT strategically installed DJI’s robust docking stations at key locations, enabling rapid drone deployment and automated recharging. This strategic placement allows drones to launch instantly in high-traffic zones, ensuring seamless operation and reducing response times.
- DroneSense Remote Software: The DroneSense platform offers real-time video streaming and comprehensive fleet management. Through this software, Arlington PD’s first responders can monitor and control their drones remotely, leveraging instant situational awareness and data integration for effective incident response.
“This collaboration underscores UVT’s commitment to providing law enforcement with turnkey, mission-ready solutions,” said Matt Rybar, VP Remote Operations with UVT. “Our focus is on reducing the complexity of DFR operations, enabling departments like Arlington PD to focus on their core mission—protecting and serving the community.”
With this integrated approach, Arlington PD’s DFR program now delivers real-time aerial support across the city, enhancing safety and emergency response capabilities. UVT’s partnership with uAvionix, DroneSense, and DJI has brought this vision to life, making Arlington one of the first cities to adopt comprehensive, city-wide drone monitoring technology for public safety.
