Overview
Watch is a fully autonomous drone-in-a-box system designed for Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) programs, critical infrastructure perimeter security, and unmanned site patrols. Weatherproof dock launches the aircraft autonomously on demand or on schedule, executes the mission, returns home, lands precisely, charges, and reports — without human touch. Integrated with computer-aided dispatch (CAD) for first-responder integration; integrated with VMS systems for security ops centers.
