Eyes on the scene before crews arrive.
SAI-HUB DD supports the Emergency Drone Project with autonomous mission planning, flight execution and AI-assisted fire and smoke detection.
The mission
A clear picture sooner.
The Emergency Drone Project is developing an autonomous system that turns drones into an immediate source of operational intelligence. When a brigade receives an alert from the control room, SAI-HUB DD can generate a mission-specific route to the reported coordinates and launch a structured pre-inspection.
While first responders are travelling to the scene, the drone gathers live visuals and AI models scan for visible smoke and fire patterns. The objective is to replace the first moments of uncertainty with verified situational data that helps teams prepare a faster, better-informed response.
