Los Angeles Chapter virtual meeting on October 15
We all recognize that first responders have a challenging and vital role with no better evidence than the last 18-24 months. Often called to respond to multiple incidents simultaneously, with little to no advance notice, and often to remote locations where time is of the essence, sUAS (Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems) is a critical component of situational awareness, assessment, and ultimately, de-escalation or mitigation.
Flying Lion Inc. (FLI), founded in 2014, has continued to expand their footprint, and current “eyes in the sky” applications include emergency response, active shooter, SWAT, fire, crowd observation, natural disasters, search and rescue, and high population special events. FLI has created a solution for organizations that want to take advantage of the small sUAS or drone technology, but do not have the administrative, funding, or staffing resources. Flying Lion’s Mobile Command Team provides 24/7/365 on-demand sUAS service with a specially outfitted mobile command center which responds to an incident within 30-minutes of notice. It is a cost-effective solution to reduce risk, help command staff have real-time situational awareness from which to make tactical decisions, and capture actionable data for prosecution, tactical evaluation, and training. The following organizations have seen the value proposition and are currently under contract… Chula Vista, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Palos Verdes Estates Police Departments; University of California, Riverside, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Simply put… They call – we FLI.
Please join us online on Friday, October 15, 8:00–9:00am Pacific Time when Barry Brennan, Founder and President of Flying Lion, will discuss the company’s role with public safety, a brief history of UAS, the current FAA requirements, and offer a view of the future of UAS. We know you’ll find this to be an interesting look at how technology is being integrated to significantly enhance public safety and the capability of first responders, and how this market is expected to evolve.
The meeting is free for members and $25 for non-members For more information and to register to attend the meeting go to https://adflaoct21.eventbrite.com/.
