REMOTE PILOTING

The aircraft is on your site. The pilot is in ours.

Automation handles the routine. Our RPICs handle everything else — judgment calls, escalation, and the moments that matter. Every remote flight is flown or supervised by a certified pilot in our U.S.-based operations center, with a supervisor on shift behind them, under RTTG's nationwide BVLOS waiver.

OPERATIONS CENTER · HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA

The largest commercially run remote operations center.

Our remote operations run from a U.S.-based center in Huntsville, Alabama, with managers and pilots on duty around the clock and the backup systems to keep it running.

HOW IT WORKS

How remote ops work

  1. Assess the site

    We survey your property, airspace and risk points, then design patrol routes and response zones.

  2. Deploy the hardware

    Docks and aircraft are installed, integrated with your network, and commissioned by our team.

  3. Fly from our ops center

    RPICs run scheduled patrols and respond to alarms remotely, under live supervisor oversight.

  4. Report and escalate

    You get patrol logs and incident reports, and your team or law enforcement gets eyes on scene fast.
