for the police
Fixed-wing flight changes what a drone can do. A fixed-wing aircraft uses lift, which is why the Avy Aera covers 100km on a single charge while a comparable multicopter covers 7km.

Call comes in
The control room accepts the incident and the nearest station is tasked automatically.
00:30
Station opens, drone launches
Vertical take-off from the box, then transition to wing flight for speed.
04:00
Overhead, streaming
Live imagery reaches the control room and the units en route to the scene.

AI reads the scene
People, vehicles and movement are detected and marked in the feed.

Docks and recharges
The drone lands itself in the station, recharges and logs the footage as evidence.
The Avy way
01 / Speed
On site within 4 minutes
Stations sit inside the response area. The drone is airborne seconds after dispatch and overhead long before the first unit arrives — no travel time, no traffic, no helicopter callout.
02 / Awareness
Increased situational awareness
A live eye in the sky for the control room and the officers on the ground: how many people, which exits, where the suspect went, whether it is safe to approach.
For a practical walkthrough, read our guide to adding fixed-wing drones to a police fleet.
03 / Autonomy
Automated flight
Nobody has to use a remote to fly it. The drone handles launch, route, orbit and landing itself, so police attention stays on the incident instead of on drone operation.
04 / AI
AI-assisted assessment
Onboard analysis flags vehicles, people and movement in the feed, so the first read of a scene is a matter of seconds and evidence is captured from the start.
