Systems and methods for tracking, evaluating and determining a response to emergency situations using unmanned airborne vehicles

A system for communication with a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a plurality of computer aided dispatch (CAD) computers that receive, process and respond to a plurality of incident calls by capturing incident details of each call including a type, time, a location and a priority of each call and by sending out one or more response units to the location of the call, the system comprising:

• at least one remotely-located hosted server computer in communication with the plurality of CAD computers to retrieve the incident details of one or more incident calls, the at least one server computer including a plurality of modules and a mapping application integrated with the plurality of modules, the plurality of modules including:
• at least a first module to evaluate, monitor, and track the plurality of incident calls;
• at least a second module to evaluate performance of the plurality of CAD computers or the response units sent out in response to the incident calls;
• at least a third module to make an incident-related decision about the one or more calls, the third module:
• (i) tracking real-time information pertaining to each UAV, the real-time information including:
• first information corresponding to a location of the UAV, second information corresponding to whether the UAV is docked or in-flight, and third information corresponding to the UAV's battery-life;
• (ii) determining launch, landing and in-flight operations of the plurality of UAVs;
• and
• (iii) selecting one or more UAVs in the plurality of UAVs to deploy in response to a selected incident call;
• and
• at least a fourth module to offer corrective/remedial action in connection with a selected call, the fourth module:
• (i) selecting an incident call from the plurality of incident calls to identify a prioritized incident call;
• and
• (ii) determining information indicative of attributes associated with deployment of one or more units or UAVs in response to the prioritized incident call, including determining whether the deployment of the one or more units or UAVs was timely.
