End-to-End UAV Data Integration & What the Future May Hold

On-demand Webinar | Free

In this webinar hosted by Auterion, we’ll look at how end-to-end UAV data integration is managed today and where it’s heading in the future. With guests from FLYMOTION, Axon, and Rutherford County Fire Department, we’ll explore an end-to-end solution integrator’s perspective (FLYMOTION) on getting drone data to a command center or vehicle, how drone (and other camera) data is funnelled and used within vertical specific platforms (Axon with evidence.com), and how a department is currently tackling their own data integration challenges.
