Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs have transformed how agencies respond to emergencies, providing officers with real-time visibility, reducing risks, and enabling better-informed decisions before they arrive on the scene. Until now, that information has been limited to outdoor environments. Public safety agencies are expanding the capabilities beyond outdoor overwatch to include indoor environments by providing live-streamed situational awareness as officers respond to alarms, enter unknown structures, and clear buildings. Designed specifically for patrol use, Skydio’s new indoor drone is fast to deploy, easy to fly, and rugged enough to go where officers cannot. It integrates directly into the Skydio DFR ecosystem, controlled by the same software, streamed to the same command centers, and uploaded into the same evidence management systems. Whether flown on-scene by the responding officer or remotely by a DFR pilot, this solution provides agencies with a practical and scalable way to bring indoor situational awareness to everyday calls and to every officer who answers them.
