Day/Night vision

On the evening of August 13-14, 2021, an Elistair Orion 2 tethered drone flew continuously for six hours over the Guns N’ Roses concert to ensure the security of 14,000 fans in the University of Montana’s Washington Grizzly Stadium. Crowd Cover, in charge of the operation selected the Orion 2 system and its day – night dual sensor camera to provide the police with a persistent aerial view of the area.

By using Elistair tethered drones, I was able to gain a significant advantage in keeping people safe at a large event. The imagery provided by CloudCover enabled a huge increase in my situational awareness, the ability to witness events first-hand as an incident Commander, and to provide assistance to my officers if needed without having to rely simply on radio-voice communications.
