The first dock is operating, but dispatch still depends on direct calls to pilots.
The agency needs faster response handling while dispatchers protect familiar command procedures.
Who you’d be doing this for
“The chief keeps asking where the staffing savings are, and I’m still pulling call notes to explain every launch.”
Nuno Rossi · Drone Operations Manager
Owns fleet readiness and must show command staff that docked operations reduce manual coordination.
What is at stake
Only 42% of eligible calls enter through the CAD-to-launch workflow, leaving pilots to handle direct dispatch requests. You have to weigh a fast adoption reset against the agency’s established dispatch habits.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- dispatcher speed vs. established command habits
- pilot handoffs vs. staffing value
- configuration changes vs. behavior diagnosis
- quarterly proof vs. durable adoption
Why Skydio
