Nestled in a valley in the desert, where high winds, an in-town airport and a consistent influx of travelers make policing a challenge, the City of Palm Springs, California, is taking advantage of new drone technology to protect residents and visitors. The Palm Springs Police Department's implementation of drones as first responder technology builds on the lessons learned from the City of Chula Vista, California's Police Department's Drone Program, which started using Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), also known as drones, to respond to calls for service in 2018.

"They've talked about technology is there, but where is that funding?" AUSTIN (KXAN) — As Texas lawmakers begin talks on possible changes to the flood warning system, KXAN’s Sally Hernandez spoke with MatrixSpace’s Lori DeMatteis about the critical role drones played in Kerrville and the need to fund cities with the technology. DeMatteis specializes in the technology that has been a game-changer for first responders. The interview below has been edited for clarity.

DroneSense will integrate MatrixSpace’s object detection and airspace awareness solution into its software platform. Uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) management platform developer DroneSense has partnered with MatrixSpace to improve support for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) drone operations. The partnership will see the integration of MatrixSpace Radar – an artificial intelligence (AI) powered real-time object detection and airspace awareness solution – into DroneSense Remote (DSR), the company’s operational software platform.

10 companies advance scalable, cost-effective solutions to bolster U.S. counter-sUAS capabilities and meet evolving DOD strategic priorities. Washington, D.C., July 21, 2025 — The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in close collaboration with U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM), U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command representatives, today announced the selection of ten finalists to advance in the Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft System (C-sUAS) Low-Cost Sensing (LCS) challenge. These selected companies, chosen against a rigorous set of criteria from 118 outstanding submissions, will move forward to demonstrate their sensor technologies during USNORTHCOM’s Falcon Peak exercise in September.

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). This enables radar tracking across urban and rural settings enhancing safety, responsiveness and mission success. MatrixSpace Radar delivers AI-powered situational awareness in all conditions, including low-light and low-visibility environments, with AiEdge software for real-time classification and expandable centralized sensor fusion.
