Director of UAS Training at The Regional Training Center, Police Captain, Huntington Beach PD (Ret.)
In 2019, Frank Gallant and I designed this platform to fit on top of a small drone (Mavic Air at the time) as part of the Huntington Beach UAS Team. The idea was based on the LAPD North Hollywood bank robbery shootout, where you had police officers and civilians pinned down behind good cover, but suffering from life-threatening injuries.?The challenge was, how can we safely and accurately deliver items such as tourniquets, compression pads, or ammunition to those officers pinned down and not risk them leaving cover to retrieve the items? The solution was the platform in this video. The drone can be flown FPV quickly and land precisely next to them. This is a tool used in dire situations and not for long-term flight. In all reality, I hope this never has to be used in another North Hollywood Shootout-type situation. But like everything else in public safety, train train train and be prepared! The Mavic air platform worked up to the Mavic 2 and so on. The larger the drone and platform, the larger the item that could be delivered. Over time, we have delivered cell phones, two-way radios, and AR15 magazines in this manner.?But ultimately, the small compact drones do much better in confined areas. Enter the DJI Avata. This new and improved platform and mount on the Avata has made this tool even better. The Avata is much more stable than the Mavic Air and is easier to fly in confined areas. The use of this platform has expanded past the original intention and has found its way into search and rescue and our Collapsed Building Rescue Course. With the Avata, critical items such as communication devices and medical supplies can be delivered to victims on the side of a cliff, in a collapsed building, or anywhere humans might have difficulty reaching. ? The Regional Training Center is gearing up to hold its first Collapsed Building Rescue Course at F1RST: Florida's Forensic Institute for Research, Security, and Tactics on November 14th and 15th in Florida. This course will test the student's confined area flying skills on many UAS platforms. https://lnkd.in/gksZbPtB If you are interested in the 3D print file for this platform, please send me a message.

What a great use case excellent video..
Tim Martin that is so cool - now imagine if you will, on the other side there is Promo Drone Starling X.2 developed and designed with our strategic partner Draganfly Inc. Literally, elevating communication to the public to save lives. I hope to see you and your team at PETCO Park for https://innovation.ucsd.edu/about-oic/special-events/innovation-day/index.html on 9-24-24 -Promo Drone will taking the message to the sky!

1 个月This is beautiful. Take it a notch up and use bespoke, open source, non Chinese hardware, that would also cost half the price. MW Autonomous Systems
