DRAGONFLY APPLICATIONS
 

Dragonfly Homeland Security Applications

Overview

The Dragonfly UMR-1 has many potential homeland security applications. Among these are search & rescue and disaster response. Since Dragonfly can be flown manned, or unmanned, Dragonfly can perform a vast range of operations including search & rescue where it can dramatically increase the search area, and reduce the time necessary to search an area without creating an unmanageable cost burden.

Dragonfly Homeland Security

The Dragonfly UMR-1 is a more cost effective alternative to search areas than today's conventional manned aircraft.  It will be possible to employ more UAVs in a search than manned vehicles due to that reduced cost.  This in turn increases the size of the search area, which corresponds to a reduced search time. Time is the critical element in all search & rescue operations.

Law enforcement agencies can save lives and capture high speed pursuit evaders better when any available, trained officer can operate the craft to provide airborne guidance to ground officers or capture the speeder by themselves.

Getting necessary supplies and equipment to the site of a natural disaster is important. Unfortunately, because of the disaster itself, the infrastructure, road and bridges, may be damaged or destroyed...making disaster relief impossible.  Dragonfly UMR offers an aerial cargo/personnel platform and provides an alternate route of travel...which is rarely obstructed.
