The dock is launching on time while the command screen remains outside the response flow.
The trial needs a working VMS handoff before its window closes, while the agency has room for only one configuration path.
Who you’d be doing this for
“My sergeant asked what the drone saw, and I was still hunting for the right screen.”
Phong Lwin · Watch Commander
Runs the county communications center that must turn a dock launch into actionable incident awareness.
What is at stake
Only 11 of 34 on-time dock missions reached the watch commander’s VMS in time. You have to weigh a reusable streaming handoff against the customer integrator’s one-window VMS workaround.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- reusable streaming pattern vs VMS-side speed
- live mission continuity vs integration rehearsal
- technical delivery vs command-screen usability
Why Skydio
Dock-based public-safety programs depend on live video reaching existing VMS workflows without adding an operator screen.
