On Friday, May 8, 2026, AeroMind participated in the “Critical Event” exercise organized in Żdżary (Kawęczyn municipality). The event focused on cooperation between emergency services during mass casualty incidents and crisis situations.
The event brought together representatives of the State Fire Service, Volunteer Fire Brigades, Police, medical rescue teams, public administration, and technology partners associated with public safety and modern operational support systems. The main initiator of the project was paramedic Michał Pusty.
The exercise scenario was based on a realistic road accident involving a large number of injured people. These types of incidents are among the most demanding in terms of organization and operations. In such situations, not only response time matters, but also accurate situational assessment, effective information exchange, and coordination between multiple emergency services.
This is exactly where modern unmanned systems are becoming increasingly important.
DJI Enterprise in Public Safety and Emergency Response
During the event, AeroMind presented DJI solutions designed for public safety, emergency response, and crisis management, including:
At the demonstration area prepared by AeroMind, we presented a complete ecosystem supporting emergency response operations. The system included the automatic DJI Dock 3 docking station, the DJI Matrice 4TD drone, an operator station, live video transmission, and a display screen for participants to observe missions and real-time data analysis.
How Drones Support Emergency Response Operations
Modern emergency operations require extremely fast access to information. In the first minutes after an incident is reported, emergency services often have only limited information provided by witnesses over the phone. Accurate situational assessment directly impacts both responder safety and the effectiveness of the entire operation.
DJI Enterprise unmanned systems significantly reduce the time needed to obtain the first operational data.
Thanks to the automatic infrastructure of DJI Dock 3, the drone can automatically take off, fly to the designated location, and begin live video transmission even before the first emergency units arrive on scene. The aerial image is transmitted in real time to command centers, dispatch units, or mobile operational headquarters.
This allows responders to assess:
- the scale of the incident,
- the number of vehicles involved,
- secondary hazards,
- road accessibility,
- fire or smoke spread,
- the location of injured persons,
- the safety of emergency responders.
This enables decision-makers to deploy appropriate resources more quickly and manage the operation more effectively.
Firefighting Support and Fire Operations
One of the key applications of DJI Enterprise drones is supporting State Fire Service and Volunteer Fire Brigade operations.
Modern drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras allow firefighters to identify fire sources more quickly, monitor fire development, and detect high-temperature areas invisible to the naked eye.
In practice, this makes it possible to:
- detect fire hotspots faster,
- monitor roofs and building structures,
- assess collapse risks,
- track fire spread,
- locate people in hazardous zones,
- support firefighting in forests and difficult terrain,
- monitor post-fire extinguishing operations.
Thermal imaging systems used in DJI Enterprise solutions can detect temperature anomalies even in low visibility, smoke-filled environments, and during nighttime operations.
Drones also significantly improve responder safety. Instead of sending firefighters directly into dangerous areas, the situation can first be assessed from the air before teams enter the operational zone.
DJI Dock 3 – Automatic Support for Operational Activities
The DJI Dock 3 system attracted particular attention during the event.
This solution enables fully remote and automatic drone operations without requiring a permanent operator on site. The docking station is responsible for:
- automatic takeoff and landing,
- drone charging,
- mission planning,
- system monitoring,
- readiness for future flights.
In practice, this enables regular patrol missions, monitoring of high-risk areas, and immediate response to emergency alerts 24/7.
In emergency response and firefighting operations, the system can be used for:
- forest monitoring,
- critical infrastructure supervision,
- industrial site inspections,
- patrolling fire-prone areas,
- support during natural disasters,
- rapid assessment of road accident scenes.
Automatic UAV systems also help reduce operational costs while increasing the efficiency of monitoring large areas.
DJI FlightHub 2 and AcoStreamer – Real-Time Video and Data
An integral part of the presented solution was also the DJI FlightHub 2 platform and AcoStreamer.
DJI FlightHub 2 enables centralized drone fleet management, mission planning, live video monitoring, and coordination of multiple teams simultaneously.
Meanwhile, AcoStreamer allows secure distribution of live video and operational data between command centers, crisis management teams, and mobile field units.
During the exercises, participants were able to watch live drone footage on the presentation screen prepared by AeroMind, demonstrating how modern technologies support operational decision-making in real-world scenarios.
Modern Technologies Becoming an Increasingly Important Part of Public Safety
Unmanned solutions are increasingly becoming an integral part of modern public safety systems. Today, drones support the operations of fire services, police, medical rescue teams, border guards, and crisis management units.
Their greatest advantage is the ability to obtain operational information extremely quickly, improve situational awareness, and enhance the safety of responders working in difficult and hazardous conditions.
Exercises such as “Critical Event” demonstrate the importance of cooperation between emergency services, public administration, and the technology sector. Only regular training and practical testing of modern solutions can help build effective crisis response procedures.
We would like to thank the organizers for the invitation and the opportunity to participate in this valuable initiative. Special appreciation goes to all rescuers, firefighters, police officers, and everyone involved in preparing and conducting the exercises.
