Fotokite Sigma Vehicle Mounted Configuration, 120V
The Fotokite Sigma. A Situational Awareness System for First Responders.
Focus on your mission. Drastically improve your team's situational awareness. The Fotokite Sigma allows you to gain an impressive, unobstructed overview of any incident in an instant. Live stream and document mission-critical aerial views with total operational freedom.
The Fotokite Sigma consists of the Ground Station and the Kite. A computer runs the Fotokite Live App which shows the real-time thermal and low-light video streams, giving teams actionable information throughout their mission safely and reliably; no piloting necessary.
With complete operational independence, you can live stream and document mission-critical aerial views. The Fotokite Sigma is made up of two parts: the Ground Station and the Kite. The Fotokite Live App operates on a computer and displays real-time thermal and low-light video streams, providing teams with actionable information throughout their operation safely and reliably; no piloting is required. Concentrate on your goal and improve your team's situational awareness significantly.
The Vehicle Mount configuration allows the close integration of Fotokite systems into the side compartments of any apparatus.
How does the Fotokite Sigma function?
- Deployment - When you get on the site, the Fotokite Sigma is ready to go. At the touch of a button, a hands-free, automatic launch sequence is activated.
- Size-Up - Swiping gestures can be used to orient your camera view or deployment height.
- Elevated situational awareness - When you need it most, the intelligence collected through clear and consistent aerial overviews will give you the data you demand.
How can Fotokite help? A number of public safety departments deploy and employ the Fotokite Sigma on a daily basis in real-world missions. The key benefits of this situational awareness technology include increased team safety, increased efficiency in responding with team resource savings, and simplicity of deployment without the same safety issues and regulatory impediments as regular drones.
- Safe and Simple Situational Awareness - Deployed with the single push of a button, Fotokite Sigma doesn't require any setup time, calibration, or piloting. Within seconds, you and your team will be able to access aerial overviews of your incident scene up to heights of 45m/150ft with the safety and reliability that public safety teams demand.
- 24h Intelligence, On-Site and Remotely - With 24-hour flight time and without any piloting needed, Fotokite allows for true, everyday autonomous flight. This gives teams actionable information throughout their missions and unlocks the ability to capture full incident response records without interruption. An integrated mobile data modem also optionally streams both camera streams remotely to user-specified IP addresses.
- Redundancy, Safety, and Reliability - Safety comes as standard. Fotokite provides an industrial-grade tool with propulsion, power, and autopilot redundancy built in. This provides public safety teams with the reliability and dependability they need in their everyday mission-critical tools.
- Low Training Threshold - Launch, fly, and land the Fotokite Sigma with a single button push. Fotokite heading are controlled with a simple double-tap gesture to snap and center your objective.
- GPS-Independent - Patented use of the tether enables GPS-independent flight and provides safe, reliable, autonomous operation throughout every mission. Further use of Fotokite's technology uniquely provides the capability to reliably launch and land from small vehicle-based enclosures day in and day-out.
