Keep your city ready for FIFA 2026 and beyond
Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs are helping cities prepare for the world’s largest sporting event and continue supporting operations for the future.
Give command staff a real-time view of unfolding situations to improve coordination, reduce response times, and keep attendees safe.
The scale of FIFA 2026 will test every city’s operational readiness.
Millions of visitors and global media attention bring security challenges unlike anything most cities have faced: large crowds, complex airspace, and multi-agency coordination at unprecedented scale, all while maintaining everyday 911 operations.
One platform. Many missions. Supporting every phase of FIFA readiness.
Building or expanding your DFR program will strengthen your response infrastructure, promote cross-agency collaboration, and continue delivering value far beyond next summer.
We stand with your team to ensure you are fully prepared for the 2026 World Cup.
