Dubai Police are deploying their Drone Box system to monitor high-rise buildings across DMCC's Uptown Dubai and Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) communities.

It marks a significant step in smart technology integration for urban safety, significantly enhancing emergency response capabilities and remote monitoring in high-rise environments.

This is the first time the Drone Box system will be fully utilised for high-rise buildings, demonstrating Dubai Police's commitment to ensuring safety in densely populated urban areas and business hubs.

The drones can operate beyond visual line-of-sight and are engineered to respond swiftly to incidents, gathering critical data to support decision-making processes.

The system is developed by Ondas Autonomous Systems and provided by its UAE company Airobotics DMCC.

It's also certified by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), making it one of the world’s most advanced drone technologies.
