When it comes to public safety, having access to real-time aerial situational awareness can be a game-changer — especially in high-pressure environments. Fotokite is an actively tethered drone system specifically engineered for public safety teams to provide reliable, autonomous, and hands-free aerial situational awareness. It requires no piloting and can be deployed at the push of a button, allowing emergency responders to focus on their mission without additional operational complexity.
Fotokite takes the complexity out of drone operation, launching, flying, and landing at the push of a button. The tethered design means that any team member can deploy it instantly, allowing emergency responders to focus fully on the mission at hand. This unique setup makes Fotokite an ideal tool for first responders who need aerial support without additional operational overhead.
One of Fotokite’s standout features is its unlimited flight time. 37.5 days in a row is the current record. The system will remain airborne flying autonomously while providing constant situational awareness as long as it has a power source: ie vehicle, inverter, generator, depending on the configuration. The uninterrupted aerial coverage thatFotokite provides ensures that public safety teams have reliable, round-the-clock support throughout any operation, whether it’s a large-scale response or ongoing surveillance.
Built to Perform in All Weather Conditions
Emergency scenarios aren’t always predictable, and Fotokite is built to perform in challenging conditions, including rain, snow, and high winds. Outfitted with high-quality RGB and thermal cameras, the system provides clear visuals, helping teams monitor situations accurately when visibility is otherwise compromised.
Configurations to Suit Every Mission
Fotokite is available in two adaptable configurations, each tailored to different operational needs:
- Rooftop Box: The Rooftop Box configuration is Fotokite’s flagship configuration that provides immediate and completely hands-free increased situational awareness. Designed for integration into SUVs and heavy apparatus vehicle classes, the Rooftop configuration deploys with the push of a button.
- Transport Case: The Transport Case configuration allows the use of the Fotokite Sigma to be interchangeable between vehicles and provides flexibility in deploying the system at the scene of an incident.
