In a strategic move to advance the safe deployment of drones in emergency response, DroneSense and MatrixSpace have joined forces to accelerate the development of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations for Drone as First Responder (DFR) initiatives. Announced yesterday in a press release, this partnership will enhance situational awareness for real-time drone operations through AI-powered radar capabilities. At the heart of this collaboration is the integration of MatrixSpace Radar into the DroneSense Remote (DSR), the leading software platform for managing public safety drone missions. This integration brings real-time object detection and enhanced airspace awareness directly into the operational workflow, significantly improving situational responsiveness across both urban and rural environments.

Integration delivers AI-enabled radar situational awareness to DroneSense Remote software, for scalable, real-time drone operations DroneSense and MatrixSpace have partnered to accelerate the safe expansion of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations for Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. The integration brings MatrixSpace Radar’s real-time object detection and airspace awareness capabilities directly into DroneSense Remote (DSR), the leading operational software platform for public safety drone missions. This enables radar tracking across urban and rural settings enhancing safety, responsiveness and mission success.

Drones carrying various sensors are being deployed globally to help secure borders and protect the agents who patrol them, while counter-UAS systems are being leveraged to safely take drones with nefarious payloads out of service.
The Palm Springs Police Department (PSPD) has expanded its Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, establishing the largest first responder agency coverage area (37 square miles) monitored by radar sensors instead of humans in the United States. The PSPD’s program expansion was made possible with multiple remote drone launch points across Palm Springs utilizing MatrixSpace’s low airspace awareness technology. This innovation has also supported the city’s application for a FAA No Visual Observer flight operations waiver to ensure the safe separation and avoidance of both general aviation and commercial aircraft.

HSWERX, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) innovation hub, selected MatrixSpace radar to provide advanced air detection to support uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) operations. The technology has potential applications across a variety of mission environments, including the DHS Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency.

MatrixSpace has integrated Dell NativeEdge to enhance AI-powered radar solutions for public safety and smart city applications. The MatrixSpace 360 radar uses edge computing for real-time object detection, classification, and decision-making without relying on cloud processing. Dell NativeEdge improves the speed, security, and scalability of MatrixSpace’s situational awareness technology. The City of Palm Springs Police Department uses this technology in its “Drone as First Responder” program to enhance emergency response and public safety. The radar system provides a 360-degree field of view, long detection range, and interconnectable nodes for low airspace awareness.
