In critical missions like search and rescue or firefighting, time is everything. By operating helicopters and drones in tandem, we are shifting from a single-aircraft response to an integrated, highly-efficient mission ecosystem. While a helicopter crew coordinates a rescue plan or prepares to contain a blaze, a fleet of uncrewed "scouts" can fan out to map a forest for hotspots or scan vast marine grids using computer vision and thermal imaging. Once a target is identified, coordinates sync instantly to the cockpit, allowing the crewed aircraft to fly directly to the scene. Join us at VivaTech 2026 from 17-20 June to learn more about how these tandem systems are redefining critical missions. Read the full article: https://ow.ly/Gns050ZcaQb
