The Kite is a firefighting-specialized aerial camera, it is robust and deployable in seconds, and fully-autonomous in order to provide consistent aerial point of view during emergency situations. The system fits well within any fire departments who have not yet established a drone program. It serves to complement existing drone programs without adding any complexity for a daily-use front line tool. The IP55 classification and a 24h+ flight autonomy allow the Fotokite Sigma to be used safely in all weather conditions.
