Research to Improve and Save Lives

Through these new technologies and solutions, Intel is accelerating innovation to create meaningful products for its public safety partners. Today, Intel announced a program with the California-based Menlo Park Fire Protection District

to support its continued research and utilization of drone platforms to further evaluate how UAVs can enhance and improve emergency response and critical responder situational awareness.

The fire district is the sponsoring agency for California Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 3 (CA-TF3) and one of eight state and 28 national Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) Task Forces under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Response System currently supporting water rescue missions in Texas related to Hurricane Harvey.

Every day these men and women risk their well-being to protect and preserve the lives and property of others, and Intel is proud to support their efforts learning how advanced technology can impact and save lives.

Intel continues to invest in technologies and solutions that transform the commercial drone ecosystem, demonstrating how drones can be used in productive and exciting ways, making amazing experiences possible, now and in the future.

For more information at InterDrone, Intel will feature and demonstrate robust unmanned technology solutions at booth #500.
