DroneSense's acquisition by Versaterm expands incident response workflows to incorporate drone operations.
Versaterm, a leading provider of Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Incident Command & Control systems, has announced the acquisition of DroneSense. This move aims to bring drone operations into the heart of public safety workflows, making them a standard part of emergency dispatch.
DroneSense offers a comprehensive drone operations platform tailored for public safety agencies. Built on enterprise-grade cybersecurity infrastructure, the platform provides advanced mission management, situational awareness, regulatory compliance, and hardware flexibility. It supports both locally piloted missions and remote Drone as First Responder (DFR) deployments, including Detect-and-Avoid (DAA) technology, allowing agencies to expand their operational reach safely.
The platform offers seamless live streaming and real-time collaboration across teams and jurisdictions. It integrates video streaming, mapping, sensor data, and collaboration tools, which facilitate multi-agency coordination and mission management. DroneSense's software solutions offer significant benefits to public safety operations by enabling real-time aerial intelligence, rapid deployment, and improved situational awareness. These capabilities reduce response times and enhance responder safety in emergencies such as active shooter incidents, search and rescue, fire responses, or hazardous material situations.
Warren Loomis, President and CEO of Versaterm, stated that the acquisition moves them closer to a future where drones are as routine as any patrol or fire unit. He explained, "By integrating DroneSense's capabilities into our systems, we can provide public safety agencies with a seamless way to deploy drones alongside traditional emergency assets like patrol cars and fire trucks."
Christopher Eyhorn, CEO of DroneSense, states that the platform was built to give public safety teams a smarter, faster way to use drones. He added, "Our vision is to bring advanced flight capabilities, real-time intelligence, and unmatched flexibility to the heart of public safety operations."
The acquisition expands Versaterm's public safety portfolio and positions them as a player in operationalizing drone response as part of the command workflow. It also allows them to bring their vision to more agencies with deeper integration into their systems. With this move, Versaterm aims to provide faster response times, enhanced situational awareness, and greater safety for first responders and communities.
