DefendEye and EAGL Technology, Inc. have announced a strategic partnership to enhance public safety response capabilities. The collaboration integrates EAGL’s outdoor wireless gunshot detection with DefendEye’s autonomous aerial system. This solution aims to deploy a drone to a shooter’s location in under 20 seconds.
Highlights
- Rapid Deployment: System achieves eyes-on-target in less than 20 seconds.
- Autonomous Integration: Connects gunshot detection directly to drone launch systems.
- Live Intelligence: Streams real-time video to law enforcement before first responders arrive.
Autonomous Response Architecture
The system creates a “Cloud-to-Cloud” bridge between the DefendEye Command Center and the EAGL AEROS Cloud. This architecture establishes a fully autonomous loop requiring no human intervention for initial deployment.
The solution is infrastructure-free and compatible with standard light poles or mobile command setups. It significantly reduces the latency found in traditional dispatch models.
While traditional response times are often measured in minutes, this joint solution prioritizes immediate visual data. This allows tactical units to view live feeds and take remote control through Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) protocols.
Operational Workflow
The integrated response system operates through a specific three-stage process involving detection, launch, and surveillance.
- Detection: The EAGL DragonFly™ sensor identifies gunshots via energy capture and waveform analysis. The AEROS platform validates the threat to eliminate false positives.
- Instant Launch: Upon validation, the system triggers the DefendEye launch tube. The drone deploys in under 10 seconds and navigates to the specific coordinates.
- Visual Confirmation: Utilizing onboard AI, the drone identifies human subjects. It transmits a live video feed immediately to command centers or police dispatch.
Technical Specifications
The partnership leverages specific hardware capabilities from both manufacturers to ensure reliability in varied environments.
