Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods are described for enhanced situational awareness of parties associated with responding to an incident, such as an emergency situation, by assigning response resources to a scene of the incident. The disclosed system provides an electronic platform for collaboration or partnership involving two or more parties. In some partnership embodiments, the disclosed system provides a ranked list of potentially available resources that can be assigned to respond to the incident. For example, the potential candidates can be mobile emergency units belonging to a first responder and/or its partner(s). Various beneficial aspects of partnerships and their technical implementations are discussed in detailed herein.

Abstract: Various embodiments of systems, apparatus, and/or methods are described for enhanced responsiveness in responding to an emergency situation using unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). Drones are fully autonomous in that they are operated without human intervention from a pilot, an operator, or other personnel. The disclosed drone utilizes movable access doors to provide the capability of vertically takeoff and landing. The drone also includes an emergency recovery system including a mechanism to deploy a parachute in an event of a failure of the on-board autopilot. Also disclosed herein is a drone port that provides an IR-based docking mechanism for precision landing of the drone, with a very low margin of error. Additionally, the drone port includes pads that provide automatic charge to the drone's batteries by contact-based charging via the drone's landing gear legs.

Abstract: Methods, systems and devices for connecting computer aided dispatch (CAD) systems for providing improved emergency response services are described. An example method includes connecting to a first CAD system and a second CAD system, wherein the information exchange interfaces associated with the first and second CAD systems are incompatible, and performing, using a common user interface overlay, the following operations: receiving an indication of an emergency situation, transmitting a list of available assets to the first CAD system, wherein the list of available assets comprises at least a set of available assets that are controlled by the second CAD system, receiving, from the first CAD system, a set of active assets designated to respond to the emergency situation, wherein the set of active assets is selected from the list of available assets, and transmitting, to the second CAD system, the set of active assets.
