SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, SPEED
Drone Response Is A state-of-the-art Drone Management Software
specifically designed for emergency response teams. Researchers at the acclaimed University of Notre Dame recognized the obstacles and challenges facing emergency response teams in the adoption of drones which have significant advantages for the safety, efficiency, and speed of emergency responses. Dr. Jane Cleland-Huang’s Computer Science and Engineering Research Lab at Notre Dame has been spearheading the research behind how drones can help emergency responders for the past five years. This research has caught the attention of NASA and the National Science Foundation, NSF CNS: 1931962, which has funded the program to date through grants.
