Frost Radar™: Unmanned Solutions for Emergency Relief, 2023

Unmanned systems can be valuable for rescue and security teams when responding to a natural disaster or other emergency. Deployment after a hurricane or earthquake or during a fire or hostage situation allows emergency responders to get a unique perspective of the event without putting more lives at risk. Cloud-based systems, advanced cameras that include thermal imagery, and automatic obstacle avoidance technology are among the innovations that help operators carry out missions faster and more efficiently. However, a system’s cost and operational complexity can put it out of reach of some agencies. One of the most pressing industry challenges is the presence of monopolistic companies that keep prices high since only a few are in charge of essential proprietary technology and are unwilling to open-source it.

Unmanned solutions are in their growth phase since many industries are complementing their security systems with drone technologies to be more efficient. This Frost Radar™ explores leading companies that provide drones for emergency relief.
