Overview

• Local police held an on-site demonstration at the Avenida del Cid headquarters featuring multi-sensor drones with day and night imaging and thermal cameras.
• The setup includes a smart hangar that automates takeoff, landing, and charging to enable continuous service without on-site operators.
• Authorities are assessing whether the design supports immediate dispatch for police, fire, and civil protection as an aerial first responder.
• Potential placements under review include institutional buildings, critical infrastructure, and protected natural areas for inspections, event support, early wildfire detection, and environmental monitoring.
• The trials form part of the Horizon Europe–backed LEAD-PRO initiative, and any broader deployment will depend on evaluation results and municipal decisions.
