公共安全无人机新闻：LEDA 会议、Autel 降落系统、哈丁县治安官重点报道

Welcome to this week’s Unmanned Tactical Group and Pilot Institute’s Public Safety UAS News Update. This week, we’re going to talk about the Law Enforcement Drone Association’s training conference, which just wrapped up in Nashville. We’re also going to discuss Autel’s new drop system that they created for the Max 4T. Finally, we’ll wrap up our agency highlight with the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office in 肯塔基州, where they used an M300 as a distractionary device on a high-risk tactical operation. It’s going to be an exciting webcast, so let’s dive in.

纳什维尔 LEDA 会议

首先是 执法无人机协会 just concluded an outstanding conference in Nashville. This is the best hands-on, scenario-driven training conference I’ve ever attended. They hold these all over the country, and their National Conference is coming up in September. If you’re a law enforcement pilot, I highly recommend attending one of these regional trainings or the national training.

我们在会议期间讨论了多个话题，其中包括无人机，如 急救人员战术进入行动，以及 搜索和救援 从灾难响应的角度来看。我们甚至还深入探讨了反无人机系统调查，以应对可能发生在您管辖范围内的邪恶无人机行动。

What’s also great about it is the breakout sessions. They covered supervisor tracks and debated whether 第 107 部分 public aircraft operations were better. Do you need both crash crime scene reconstruction? They also had actual hands-on scenarios that you could fly to learn best practices and understand how other agencies are doing it. It’s one of the best conferences out there to gain hands-on experience and network in one amazing location.

What’s also impressive about the Law Enforcement Drone Association conference is that 118 pilots got certified to the Law Enforcement Drone Association’s NIST 标准. They’re trying to maintain the best practices across the country, ensuring all pilots meet the minimum requirements for law enforcement responses. Outstanding work, Law Enforcement Drone Association! I can’t wait to attend the next one.

Autel 机器人投放系统

接下来是 Autel John McBride 刚刚在他参加的一次会议上在 Facebook 上公布了该系统。Autel 设计了一种可直接插入 Max 4T 的投放系统。

This system has four different payload drop systems, or you can drop all of them simultaneously. This would be a really cool system to start testing, and it’s worth taking a look to see what its max payload capability might be. This could be a game-changer for all the Autel users that are wanting to utilize a payload drop system for moving a flotation device out to a distressed swimmer or dropping in a cell phone or a first aid kit for a welfare concern or a lost hiker. It’s a game-changer for Autel pilots out there, and I’m really excited to see how this drop system is going to play out. Outstanding work, Autel. I’m looking forward to that system.

Hardin County Sheriff’s Office up in Kentucky

For this week’s agency highlight, we’re going to highlight the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office up in Kentucky. Earlier this month, the deputies were dispatched to a call about a man with a rifle. While en route, once they got close to the suspect, the suspect immediately started shooting at the officers and nearby civilians. The suspect eventually retreated into a residence where he barricaded himself. The Special Response Team, or SRT, ended up going to that scene where they also called out their drone team.

无人机小组使用大疆 M300，运行 H-20TQ 有效载荷。利用该无人机，他们找到了嫌疑人的位置，并追踪了他从屋内到车库的行踪。每当他们试图移动地面人员时，他们也观察到他开始向任何移动的人员射击。最后，他们利用无人机为地面人员提供了宝贵的信息，使他们知道何时行动是安全的，何时行动是不安全的。

Eventually, they utilized that drone as a distractionary device, which is some outstanding work. This system is a tool; it’s not designed to always be safe and sometimes, it’s going to end up taking fire. What ended up happening was the suspect did exactly that; he turned his AR-15 towards that drone and started firing at it. The drone ended up taking five shots; it eventually did go down, but during that time, they were able to position their tactical team in a safe position, and that eventually led to the safe apprehension of the individual.

Now, the suspect is facing multiple felony charges for a myriad of things, including attempted murder, attempted murder of a peace officer (the deputy that was immediately taking rounds), and a federal charge for taking down an aircraft. We’ll see how the 司法部 handles this case. It’ll be interesting to follow. Hopefully, they follow through with this event because it needs to be known that you can’t be shooting down drones with an AR-15, especially during a public safety event.

Outstanding work by the Hardin County Sheriff’s Office and the deputies who were flying those drones. I’m glad this incident ended up with the safe apprehension of the suspect.

That wraps up this week’s 试点研究所 and Unmanned Tactical Groups Public Safety UAS news update. Thanks for following along with this one. It was a fun webcast to do this week, and I’m looking forward to the next one.

注意 无人战术小组 网页；我们即将在全 美国. If you don’t see one in your region, reach out to us. We would love to come to your agency and host a class, so please reach out to us for that.

Also, we’re building out more and more online courses, so visit our webpage as well and take a look at our upcoming courses that we have for online portals. We’re going to be hosting those both through the 试点研究所 and through our website, so don’t hesitate to head over there. We’ll have some of those classes on demand. I look forward to seeing you on the next one. Thanks, and see you next time.
