The Future of Mission-Critical Communications:
UAS Innovation in Action
Connect with first responders and explore real-world drone technology
solutions that save lives.
IWCE is partnering with DRONERESPONDERS and the Airborne International Response Team (AIRT) to deliver specialized training for public safety first responders implementing Drones-as-First-Responders (DFR) programs.
Learn proven approaches to successfully launch and manage your DFR program, including:
- Program development and training design
- Safety Management Systems (SMS) and incident reporting
- UAS maintenance and regulatory compliance
- Operational governance and stakeholder collaboration
- Software ecosystem integration
- Team awareness and accountability
Go beyond the classroom: Connect directly with leading drone manufacturers and technology providers in the Drone Technology Pavilion in the IWCE Expo Hall, and witness live drone demonstrations with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department to see DFR operations in action.
CEC credits available.
