US Schools to Deploy Nonlethal Drones for Active Shooter Response
Several US schools in Georgia, Florida, and Colorado are set to deploy nonlethal drones designed to confront active shooters within 15 seconds, using pepper spray and two-way communication to aid law enforcement. Operated remotely from Austin, these drones utilize digital twin technology to map school layouts and track real-time movements. Teachers can summon drones via an app or panic buttons. The system aims to buy critical time for first responders during shootings, inspired by drone use in the Ukraine conflict.
