BLUE BELL, PENNSYLVANIA, UNITED STATES – January 19, 2022

“The Mansfield Office of Emergency Management and Mansfield PD facilitated and hosted a Multi-jurisdictional task force consisting of 8 different agencies over a period of 3 days. The locations under camera surveillance were mapped in DragonForce. There were 10 officers logged in on cell phone and being tracked on the map in real time as they moved in on the suspects and made the arrests.

     The agencies involved were jointly located in the Emergency Operations Center which was utilized as a command post for the tactical operations.  A live video feed of the area of operation and DragonForce were displayed on a large media wall for situational awareness. We utilized DragonForce to track our officers, talk to them by way of PTT and message them throughout the operational period.

     Eight of the 10 officers had never used DragonForce. They were given a brief overview and had no problems. DragonForce performed flawlessly for the entire three day operation and provided great situational awareness. I would recommend it to any agency wanting to manage disasters, tactical operations or local events.

     The end of the operation resulted in the arrest of numerous bad actors.”

“North Texas PSURT has always found ways to operate which usually included free or very low cost solutions. Being a regional team with members from multiple jurisdictions, purchasing a software solution that meets our needs has always been difficult. Then we found DragonForce. We are now able to send text alerts to all our members of various teams asking who is available when we have an emergency call out. Quickly creating a group pulling members and resources from the entire North Texas region viewing who can respond, and then collaborating in real time…” – Travis Calendine, Chair of North Texas PSURT.

DragonForce has developed a set of collaborative tools designed to assist utility customers in expediting their field response and recovery time to incidents. Stakeholders can quickly access the data they need to monitor their infrastructure and utility maintenance, protect their personnel, manage fleets and assets, and view detailed vehicle tracking to facilitate an immediate response to natural disasters and outages.

Many field operations involve employees working alone, often at remote locations, which presents a challenge in ensuring worker safety and accountability. The DragonForce Vigilance Lone Worker module provides an easy to deploy and use solution to meet that challenge. Field workers can rest assured that help will be dispatched to their location immediately in the event of unpredictable circumstances.

DragonForce Quick Feature Layers (QFL) enables dynamic operational maps in seconds. Quickly overlay outage information, recovery, and crew locations in real-time. Easily display natural disaster storm paths or an ad hoc map overlay that needs to get out quickly to your team. DragonForce QFL is the answer for all these scenarios.

Drakontas, the maker of the industry-leading commanding control platform, DragonForce, and City of Salem, OR, have upgraded their emergency response operations. The City of Salem asked for support with a trial during the recent state of Oregon Capital Protection detail and crowd control needs during the inauguration of President Joe Biden. Dragonforce was able to provision and deploy users within less than an hour and train the city of Salem users to augment their systems in their new Emergency Operations Center to monitor, adapt, and react to any situation that could arise during that time.

“Before DragonForce, we were using a simple setup to track our field personnel while requesting continuous radio updates on their status and positions relayed through our dispatchers,” said Sgt. Matt Riddle, City of Salem. “After switching over to DragonForce, we have freed up our dispatchers, and we are now visualizing real-time locations, updates, and receiving pictures and video from our field teams, as well as interoperating and coordinating with other agencies without as much reliance on our radios as our primary interface to get information from the field. It truly had revolutionized and simplified our operations when we needed it most. The fact that the DragonForce team had us up and running in less than an hour was amazing as well. By utilizing DragonForce, we are no longer limited to just a dots-on-the-map solution. We’ve upgraded the city’s entire operations and are bringing on additional city departments like Fire, and Emergency Management, so we have an entire overwatch continuously at our fingertips,” added Sgt. Riddle.

“Our customers must respond to complex, highly dynamic situations that require split-second decisions based on the best possible tactical information available,” said James Sim, Drakontas CEO. “Since its inception, Drakontas was built to simplify complex operations for any city, county, state, or enterprise that requires continuous collaboration and interoperability to provide better, faster, and safer decisions.”

Drakontas, the maker of the industry-leading command and control platform, DragonForce, and Responder Air creator of Responder Cast Streaming And Responder Air AR, augmented reality platform for UAV pilots, have completed their integration providing real-time viewing and identification of DragonForce users in the pilots’ display. Agencies utilizing drone flights for accident reconstruction, protest monitoring, tactical deployments, search and rescue, fire response, and more, were limited to seeing where their friendly forces were on the ground, until now.

“DragonForce continues to evolve to provide force-multiplying solutions. Our partnership with Responder Air advances the art of personnel tracking for public safety professionals by incorporating DragonForce tracking information into a live streamed bird’s eye view of the entire incident, thus improving overall situational awareness. Our customers must respond to complex, highly dynamic situations that require split-second decisions based on the best possible tactical information available,” said James Sim, Drakontas’ CEO.

Responder Air AR now overlays any agency’s personnel locations directly into the pilot’s flight display for easy identification, direction, and deployment of all assets on the ground, increasing effectiveness while providing enhanced situational awareness within a real-time view from the sky. DragonForce provides critical personnel location data and voice communications interoperability that enables multiple agencies to collaborate effectively using their smartphones, tablets, and laptops. DragonForce delivers a powerful set of team collaboration tools, including personnel tracking, secure messaging and file sharing, situation reports, tactical whiteboarding, and an integrated Push-to-Talk (PTT) feature providing voice communications.

COVID-19 is resurging at an alarming rate, nearly doubling the initial curve seen in April and May. Planning has never been more crucial to counter the nationwide outbreak! Until the recently tested vaccine can be distributed, and we can truly flatten the curve, this crisis will continue to challenge disparate agencies to effectively coordinate and respond to the ongoing pandemic.

What we have learned from the first spike in COVID-19 cases enables DragonForce to be the industry-leading command and control platform to coordinate the distribution of PPE, manage real-time tracking of personnel and resources, and organize any response efforts to the incidents that arise from COVID-19. The DragonForce app deploys in seconds on the smartphones, tablets, and laptops you are using right now and provides secure, powerful, yet easy to use collaboration tools to collect and share information and coordinate personnel.

“Our technology empowers the teams we support to make the fastest, safest and most effective decisions and actions as they serve and protect the citizens, homes and institutions of their communities.”

Drakontas, the maker of the industry-leading command and control platform, DragonForce, is experiencing great success supporting local, state, and federal public safety agencies with their planning for the civilian response to Election Day. Agencies are planning for record-breaking turnout at polling locations, as well as potential civil unrest and training to handle a wide array of scenarios. DragonForce provides critical data and voice communications interoperability that enables multiple agencies to collaborate effectively using the smartphones, tablets, and laptops they already use – eliminating the need for costly and complicated integration solutions. An agency can be up, trained, and running with DragonForce within 24 hours of the initial request.

Drakontas has recently implemented RapidSOS’ emergency response data platform which securely and automatically links life-saving data from connected devices, apps, and profiles directly to 911 and first responders in an emergency. When a 911 call comes in, DragonForce can now query the RapidSOS platform to display caller location and additional data, such as opt-in medical information, telematics, alarm sensor data, and more.

DragonForce embeds RapidSOS web-based tool, RapidSOS Portal, to query a caller’s location and access supplemental data upon receiving a 911 call. With this information, dynamic groups can be assigned to handle the type of incident identified. The information from the RapidSOS Portal is seamlessly integrated with DragonForce’s real-time personnel tracking, tactical whiteboarding, and shared situational reporting capabilities. This streamlines the workflow to identify and assign the appropriate resources to respond to incidents of any type or size. DragonForce provides the “common operating picture” that field responders and key decision-makers need to connect, collaborate, and control any incident.

Drakontas partners with RapidSOS to provide life-saving emergency data to 911 call centers using DragonForce
