The ISS Franchise

The Aquiline Drones ISS Franchise is centered on the use of Electro-Optical (EO) and Thermal scans for inspections and surveillance.

Powered by AD drones with specialized sensors suited for security, surveillance, and industrial operations, these drones can also serve as Drone First Responders (DFR), arriving on-site immediately to provide critical real-time intelligence. They can assess hazardous or hard-to-reach areas, monitor incidents, and support rapid decision-making before personnel arrive.

Equipped for advanced observation, these drones use AI Machine Vision to help detect threats, oversee emergency situations, and perform search and rescue assessments, giving teams actionable insights that enhance safety and operational efficiency.

Beyond DFR applications, these drones also support industrial inspections of infrastructure, pipelines, rooftops, and other complex sites—delivering faster, safer, and more precise evaluations than traditional methods.
