> Although its a regulatory nightmare I think this is what Drones as a First Responder will look like in 5-10 years. Officers have on-demand air support they can talk to like a police helicopter. Hey, what you're talking about does have regulatory difficulties but they can be overcome with connections. You also need a different roadmap to success that is not just police and fire as there might not be enough money, and if you could you could compete with DJI's pricing and polish you'd have a different roadmap anyway. Also, early success in the US could help you push into opportunities with international customers. Are you experienced in building relationships with police and fire? I'd start there as it's quite doable. They will help you cut through some FAA red tape but you'll also have to do some of the lifting for them too. While the situation with DJI and Skydio may look very difficult to surmount, there are some directions you can take your drone that makes it more fit for fire and police use cases as well as beyond, you just have to focus on capability differentiation and not price and polish (DJI's Dock 2 pricing is amazing). For example, collision avoidance or high wind resistance. DJI is also facing uncertain political climate as Florida recently banned them for the use case you're talking about. There are quite a few people working in your space, as you know, and drones as part of the first responder story are already becoming real in some cities. Would very much love to chat and exchange ideas, shoot me an email at vroom@vars.io.
