Real Results.
Wildfire Perimeter Mapping Cuts Incident Command Time by 52%
The district faced recurring wildland-urban interface fires across rugged desert terrain. Incident commanders were making critical resource allocation decisions with incomplete situational awareness, relying on radio reports from ground crews who couldn't see the full fire perimeter.
We deployed a custom thermal + RGB dual-payload system with real-time GIS overlay integration. The system feeds live fire perimeter data directly to the incident command tablet within 4 minutes of dispatch.
"We had eyes on the full fire perimeter before the second engine arrived on scene. That's a capability we never had before."
Tactical Aerial Overwatch Reduces Officer Risk in High-Risk Warrant Operations
The department was conducting high-risk warrant operations in dense residential neighborhoods with limited visibility. Officers had no aerial intelligence prior to entry, increasing risk to personnel and bystanders.
We designed a high-altitude encrypted tactical platform with telephoto and thermal dual sensor capability. Flying higher minimizes noise signature — undetectable from ground level. The system integrates directly with the department's existing CAD and provides encrypted live feeds to command and entry teams.
"The aerial picture before entry changed everything. We knew exactly what we were walking into."
Multi-Spectral Search Locates Three Missing Hikers in Terrain That Grounded Helicopters
A search for three missing hikers in the San Bernardino Mountains was hampered by high winds and dense tree canopy that prevented helicopter operations. Ground teams had covered less than 20% of the search area after 18 hours.
ADFR configured a multi-spectral platform with AI-assisted thermal detection capable of operating in 65 km/h winds. The system scanned terrain inaccessible to ground teams and unsafe for manned aircraft, operating within FAA Part 107 visual line of sight parameters with a coordinated relay team.
"The drone found all three in terrain our helicopters couldn't safely access. It was the difference between a rescue and a recovery."
AED Delivery System Achieves 3.2-Minute Response to Cardiac Arrest in Remote Location
A rural community in Riverside County had average AED response times exceeding 11 minutes due to distance from fire stations. Cardiac arrest survival rates drop approximately 10% for every minute without defibrillation.
ADFR designed a dedicated medical payload delivery system with a custom AED mounting bay, GPS-guided autonomous delivery, and bystander guidance audio system. The platform operates from a pre-positioned base station.
"AED delivery in 3.2 minutes. The patient survived. That system paid for itself on day one."
