The city must choose a coordination rule before six docks begin acting on overlapping calls.
Dispatch wants fast launches during concurrent incidents, while aviation leadership needs a rule that holds under strict operational review.
Who you’d be doing this for
“Two calls came in a block apart, and everyone asked which dock had the first one.”
George Khoury · Emergency Communications Supervisor
Supervises dispatchers who will choose and oversee drone responses across overlapping city incidents.
What is at stake
Nine of 26 overlap rehearsals flagged duplicate dock assignments, with only four confirmed so far. You have to weigh dispatch speed against a coordination rule that can survive public activation and strict review.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- dispatch speed vs duplicate-assignment control
- public launch date vs verified operating evidence
- citywide coverage vs conservative operator review
- field rule now vs product requirement later
Why Skydio
Citywide Drone as First Responder deployments require docked operations, CAD and dispatch integration, and defensible airspace procedures to operate at scale.
