Drones in civil protection using the example of the city of Leonberg
How can a modern and operational drone unit be successfully set up for civil protection? The town of Leonberg shows how - with a practice-oriented overall concept and professional support from Droniq.
From idea to deployment: strategically integrating drone technology
Today, civil protection is faced with a wide range of challenges - from large-scale damage situations and complex deployment scenarios to support in the event of forest fires or searches for missing persons. In precisely these cases, drones can provide valuable services. However, this requires a solid technical and organizational basis.
The city of Leonberg has successfully mastered this step and set up a powerful drone unit that provides fast and efficient support in an emergency. Droniq was on hand to provide advice right from the start.
Technical equipment: it's all about the right combination
The collaboration focused on the provision and integration of high-performance components:
Two DJI Matrice 350 drones with H30T camera: For high-resolution reconnaissance - even in poor visibility or night flights.
Four DJI Mini 4 drones: Compact devices for training purposes and flexible missions.
HOD4trackLTE transponder for digital visibility of the drone in real time - a key component for safe operations.
Mobile air situation system: For displaying the air situation and for coordination with manned air traffic.
The result is a comprehensive drone system that is tailored to the requirements of BOS units in terms of both operational tactics and regulation.
Airspace integration included
Safety begins in the air: by connecting to the TraX, the drone becomes digitally visible - both for its own forces and for other airspace users. This effectively prevents collisions and significantly improves coordination with other resources (e.g. helicopters).
Best practice for BOS units
The city of Leonberg impressively demonstrates how modern drone technology can be strategically anchored in civil protection. From equipment and airspace integration to the training and further education of the emergency services - with a holistic approach and a reliable technology partner like Droniq, it is possible to set up a future-proof drone unit.
