Belgium – Helicopters, aeroplanes, spacecraft and other powered aircraft – First response drone-in-a-box oplossing voor Politiezone Antwerpen

In the context of its future vision, the Antwerp Police Zone wishes to further expand and optimize its drone operations. An important step in this process is the exploration of so-called drone-in-a-box solutions. Automatic drones can indeed be deployed faster and more efficiently to support operational tasks, such as incident response, maintaining order, corps or control actions, investigations, mapping accidents, etc. This not only contributes to a faster response time but also increases the deployability of the drone team and improves the information position on the ground. With this, the Antwerp Police Zone aims to evolve towards 24/7 operation with its own pilots with almost complete coverage of automatic drones over its territory. In addition, the Antwerp Police Zone also wants to facilitate this drone deployment for other police zones within the framework of the interzonal cooperation agreement. The Antwerp Police Zone wishes to provide an integrated drone-in-a-box (DiaB) solution to support operational activities. For a detailed description of the file, we refer to the contract documents.
