Alarm Response

Airborne before you finish reading the alert

The gap between an alarm firing and someone having eyes on the location is where most of the cost sits — in false dispatches, in delay, in uncertainty. Automated go-to-point closes it.

The scenario

A sensor trips at 03:00

Who looks, and how soon?

A perimeter sensor fires. Traditionally someone reads a notification, decides whether it is worth a patrol, and dispatches. Each step costs minutes.
  • The aircraft leaves firstThe go-to-point mission launches on the alarm itself, so imagery is arriving while the operator is still assessing the notification.
  • Assess before committing peopleLive imagery turns "send a patrol and find out" into a decision made with the picture already in hand.
  • Fewer false dispatchesMost alarms are not incidents. Confirming that from the air is cheaper than confirming it with a vehicle and two people.

Triggers

What can start a mission

Security-centre events

Alarms raised in your VMS or security centre can dispatch an aircraft as part of the existing response workflow.

IoT and field sensors

Perimeter sensors, gas and environmental monitors, and other field devices can raise the same kind of trigger.

Manual dispatch

An operator can send the aircraft to a map coordinate directly, using exactly the same mission path.

Safety envelope

Automatic does not mean unsupervised

An aircraft that launches itself needs tighter boundaries, not looser ones.

Pre-approved flight zones

Automated missions fly only inside geometry cleared in advance — the approval happens before the alarm, not during it.

Confirmation levels

Choose per trigger whether the aircraft launches automatically or waits for an operator to confirm.

Checklists still apply

Automated launches run the same enforced pre-flight checks as any other mission.

Where this stands today

Alarm, approval, flight

Today an alarm reaches AutrikOS as a webhook or a sensor value that triggers a workflow. The workflow can wait for an operator to approve the run before the aircraft leaves; the flight then runs the plan and the limits it was given, inside the workspace's geozones, with the checklist the launch requires.

Distinct confirmation levels per alarm class and a separate catalogue of pre-approved flight zones are not built: approval is one step, and the geozones are the ones every flight uses.

Works best with a dock

Alarm response assumes an aircraft that is ready around the clock. Let us talk about your site.
