"Built for first responders," Fotokite provides public safety teams with mission-critical situational awareness from elevated perspectives. Their actively tethered UAS (unmanned aerial system) saves team resources by launching, flying and landing with the single push of a button - no piloting necessary. Fotokite is authorized and recognized by aviation authorities as a safer alternative to traditional tethered drone and free-flying public safety drone systems.
