Drones are able to provide critical information in real time from different locations and from an overhead/PR view
That black Sabbath on October 7th proved to all of us how important the standby classes scattered throughout the country are.
Thanks to the courage of those members of the standby squads, the lives of many Israelis who lived in the Gaza Envelope were saved.
At the same time, on October 7, we also learned that the standby classes were not sufficiently prepared - both in terms of personnel and tactical equipment.
Drones can provide a situational picture of the battlefield or the security/PR risk
One of those tools that could have helped the standby classes that Shabbat is the drone, in different and varied ways.
• Tracking and gathering information: Drones are able to provide critical information in real time from different locations and from an overhead view.
They can provide sharp images to the level of facial recognition and weapons or amazing quality video that helps with real-time incident analysis and geographic information, such as the location and movement of potential enemies in the field.
• Support and assistance in decision-making: drones can provide a situational picture of the combat area or the security risk, thereby helping the commander or the commander in the field in understanding the tactical reality, a wooded, sloping area, an area dense with buildings or possible hiding spots, which can help make quick decisions in time True.
• Detection and tracking of enemies: As of 2024, most drones on the market, and of course those intended for rescue and security forces, are equipped with various zoom (close-up) options. In addition to advanced thermal capabilities, and even the addition of built-in lighting fixtures that turn the drone into a game-breaking tool in the community defense space. Only Last month, with the help of a drone, an attack was prevented in the south of Mount Hebron, when a reservist in the force who was on the spot, identified the attackers cutting the fence of the settlement, the drone followed the attackers at all times, gave an accurate indication of the weapons they were carrying, and even when the attackers fled the area, it continued to follow them until the forces retreated for precise contact and neutralization of the threat.
• Search and rescue: the mobility, ease of operation, overhead view, thermal capabilities and, of course, the zoom options, make the drones a life-saving tool. Whether it is the collapse of buildings, natural disasters or lost travelers, the capabilities of the drones enable quick access to the area as well from a remote point and provide life-saving information about the location of the incident, the condition of the injured or trapped, thus enabling the rescue forces in the field to quickly organize an effective treatment in any case they may require.
"On-call classes understood the importance of controlling and watching from above on an emergency incident as well as on normal days"/PR

"The war shed light on a point of weakness in the security of settlements all over the country," said Alon Abelson, CEO and co-founder of the Highlander company.
"On-call classes understood the importance of control and observation from above on an emergency incident as well as on normal days."
The DJI brand has solutions for all types of scenarios and budgets in addition to cooperation with the Highlander company that transforms the drones into more sophisticated systems and upgraded tools for the standby classes.
The Highlander company provides use of the 'Orion' drone fleet management system at no cost for the duration of the war.
"The system upgrades the existing capabilities of the drone and the routine way of working of the standby class," Abelson added.
"The system allows information sharing in real time to the central HML, joint forces and any relevant party.
The management of the activity of the drone unit in the standby class in one HML allows for the concentration of all information and the professional operation of occasional events. In addition, the system allows the flow of essential information to the national HML - alerting security officials in emergency events and complying with RTA regulations (connection to a national control system )".
At Banda Magnetic, the official importer of DJI, you can find a variety of drones for different purposes, some of which are exactly suited to the purposes of the different alert classes and can help save lives.
Victoria Zohar, director of the ENTERPRISE field at Banda, claims: "For many years we have been working for the benefit of information and access to information about the use of drones in the public space. In many countries around the world, there is already a positive and multi-year experience of integrating drones into the municipal space.
Even in Israel recently, this technology has become an integral part of the tasks of maintaining public safety, rescue, enforcement and improving the lives of the residents on a daily basis.
You can save time, money and the risk of human life when doing the task using the drone."
Beyond the possibility of seeing a "bigger picture" of the event, DJI ENTERPRISE drones have special capabilities such as:
thermal vision
• Accurate identification of the fire's focus based on temperature, which optimizes extinguishing of the fire •
It is possible to see at night/a closed place in total darkness.
• Identifying people even in hard-to-search areas such as fields and areas with dense vegetation.
Zoom capabilities
.
•
Viewing many areas from one vantage point.
Laser marker
• Marking a point on the remote control of the drone to get an exact distance and/or an accurate GPS location point.
• Sharing the exact location with forces in the field.
Integration capabilities
• Integration of additional accessories from third-party manufacturers such as an announcement, speaker , launching facilities for various applications
• The possibility to work with software such as Highlander enables task management, fleet management, real-time video sharing and advanced analytics.
