In this impactful webinar, Noreen Charlton of Skydio and Captain Andrew Denbo from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office explore the life-saving potential of Drone as First Responder (DFR) technology. The session highlights a real-world case where drone technology was crucial in the swift rescue of a missing child. Key Takeaways: Critical Case Overview: The webinar centers on a high-stakes search and rescue mission in which a missing child, hidden in a rural area, was located using a drone. Despite exhaustive efforts by ground and air units, it was the drone's thermal imaging and advanced navigation capabilities that ultimately led to the child's safe recovery. Life-Saving Technology: The discussion underscores how drones can operate quietly, access difficult terrain, and provide real-time data, making them invaluable in urgent, life-saving missions. In this case, the drone's ability to detect heat signatures in dense terrain allowed officers to locate and rescue the child swiftly and safely. Expanding Public Safety Capabilities: The webinar emphasizes how DFR technology enhances traditional public safety efforts, offering quicker, more effective responses in emergencies. The success of this mission illustrates the growing role of drones in life-saving operations, showcasing their potential to transform public safety strategies. This webinar is a powerful testament to the effectiveness of drones in critical, time-sensitive missions, demonstrating their ability to save lives and improve public safety outcomes.

Mark Valentine is a retired U.S. Air Force officer and a combat veteran F-16 pilot who served for over 25 years. Today, he is the President of Global Government at Skydio, a leading U.S. drone manufacturer. Despite his vast experience flying combat jets, Valentine admits that in today’s battlefield, drones impact results in ways that new jets or missiles cannot. As autonomous drones become more sophisticated, they now make far fewer errors compared to their human operators. However, in actual combat where lives are on the line, the humans behind the drones must face a deeper question about the desensitization that happens when a soldier uses a drone thousands of miles away, like a video game, to take another life.
