Drone surveillance tasking and data integration

Purpose

1.1. Automates real-time drone surveillance assignment, monitoring, and data integration for comprehensive perimeter and facility security in Army barracks.
1.2. Automates drone deployment based on threat alerts, scheduled patrols, or ad hoc requests, integrating automated video feeds, thermal imaging, and telemetry into centralized security dashboards.
1.3. Automates threat detection, incident reporting, and data stream management across surveillance teams to enhance situational awareness, compliance, and rapid incident response.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Motion or intrusion detected by ground sensors (e.g., automated sensor API notifications trigger drone launch).
2.2. Scheduled automated surveillance patrol times reached (calendar/time-based automator).
2.3. Manual command request from security personnel through secure portal or mobile app.
2.4. Automated event from external threat intelligence platforms indicating elevated risk.

Platform Variants
