LAFD UAS Program Demo

On April 25, 2019 the Los Angeles Fire Department provided a demonstration of the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) program for Councilmember Blumenfield and his staff. This event showcased the entire fleet, provided a live stream demo and highlighted the arrival of the newest addition, the DJI Matrice 600. The Matrice 600 was donated via the LAFD Foundation and is the largest drone in the fleet. It is capable of performing an active role within an incident. For example, it can drop rope lines and/or life preservers during a water rescue which could facilitate a quicker rescue.
