Elevate Your Mission: The Proven Power of the Fotokite Sigma

At AlphaGeo, we understand that professionals in public safety and critical infrastructure demand technology they can trust. The Fotokite Sigma tethered drone is not just a piece of equipment; it's a proven asset that delivers real-time, aerial situational awareness when it matters most. We've seen its life-saving and mission-critical capabilities demonstrated in deployments around the world.

The Fotokite Sigma’s real-life applications highlight its unique value in a variety of challenging scenarios.

Fire and Rescue Operations

The Fotokite Sigma provides a persistent eye in the sky, giving commanders the crucial overview they need to make safe and effective decisions.

In Syracuse, New York, the Fotokite was deployed at a fire at Maria Regina College to establish situational awareness, locate existing hotspots, and continuously monitor the site overnight to ensure no new fires developed.

The Phoenix Fire Department used live aerial footage from a Fotokite to monitor a two-story house fire. This footage identified signs of imminent roof failure, enabling command to adjust tactics and ensure firefighter safety while continuing to combat the fire.

The Oklahoma City Fire Department deployed the Fotokite Sigma on the same day they completed their training, streaming continuous aerial video of a major fire. The department now owns six of these systems.

At an industrial cheese factory fire in Switzerland, the ECAB Fribourg team used the Fotokite Sigma for over 12 hours to help coordinate operations with live video streaming to the Tactical Command Vehicle.

Search and Rescue

In a race against time, the Fotokite Sigma’s thermal imaging capabilities can be the difference between a successful rescue and a tragedy.

The Buffalo Police Department utilised their new Fotokite within hours of acquiring it to locate a missing person in freezing, snowy conditions. The drone's thermal imaging technology provided real-time situational awareness, showcasing its immediate life-saving potential.

Crowd and Event Management

Managing large-scale events requires a constant overview to ensure the safety of all attendees.

At the annual Chandler Ostrich Festival in Arizona, the Fotokite provided crucial situational awareness for the over 250,000 attendees. The Chandler Police and Fire departments used the drone's livestream and remote control capabilities to effectively monitor crowds and traffic.

During the Zurich Street Parade, which drew over 900,000 people, two Fotokites were strategically positioned on rooftops to monitor the crowds, with the drone flying nonstop for 24 hours.

The Hullaballoo festival in the Netherlands utilised the Fotokite for 24/7 aerial surveillance, providing an elevated perspective for one of the region’s largest concerts.

The Fotokite Sigma has also assisted in complex maritime manoeuvres, providing an additional visual perspective for the Ports of Jersey during the arrival of the HMS Iron Duke. Its dual video feed of thermal and low-light RGB footage is invaluable for gaining aerial situational awareness at traffic accident scenes and for locating people or team members during forest fires.
