Drones - Super Bowl security - Tethered

Public safety UAS specialists Skyfire worked alongside the Georgia World Congress Center Authority, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency and a team of pilots, security experts and software partners to deploy two tethered drones in the skies above Atlanta. The drones were in position to overlook events and respond in case of an emergency.

“The drones allow security specialists to spot unusual behavior long before they reach the main venue.” Both drones hovered at 200 feet and were secured and powered by Drone Aviation Corp’s FUSE tethering system. Live optical and thermal video was streamed through the DroneSense software platform to law enforcement command centers in over a dozen locations.

“Drones can help make large events like this one safer by gathering information in a way that no other platform can,” said Ryan Bracken, business development lead for DroneSense and a former FBI special agent.“
