Real-time technical monitoring and information to emergency and disaster responders on the ground in response to crises
Since our establishment in 2019, the team at Drones Without Borders™ (Drones Sans Frontières™) have been determined to make an impact to help. We know that understanding the scale of a disaster in the immediate aftermath is an immense challenge to responders. The core of our efforts is therefore to bring fresh ideas and passion to the use of unmanned systems (drones) in responding to disasters and crises. Through all of our endeavours we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs, and to do our utmost to help wherever we can in an impartial and independent manner.
