Secret Service deploys DFR for real-time situational awareness
The U.S. Secret Service has added a Drone as First Responder (DFR) program to its protective operations. Remote Skydio X10 launch gives agents real-time situational awareness in seconds. Pilots now act as a force multiplier, no longer required to be physically at every location, and can support a variety of protective missions simultaneously while spotting threats before they escalate.

- Utilizing this platform allows the Secret Service to provide aerial
- overwatch of a critical situation.
- Where we typically only have eyes on the ground, now we have eyes in the sky.
- It allows you to see the threat before it becomes an issue and to
- task assets accordingly.
- This platform allows us to utilize our pilots as a force multiplier.
- They're no longer required to be at, physically at every location supporting
- our
- protective mission. They can support a variety of protective
- missions
- simultaneously, where they can cohesively work a problem
- and resolve that
- tactical situation. Having an aerial perspective enhances
- overall
- situational awareness. We no longer wait for the threat to reveal
- itself.
- We find it first. In our mission, every second matters.
- Utilizing this technology, the Secret Service can now expand our
- perimeter to
- enhance the safety of our protectees.
