Remote Operations Model
Nationwide coverage from our Ohio operations center.
Our unique operational model positions aircraft at client locations while pilots operate remotely from our Ohio headquarters. This enables rapid response without requiring on-site personnel.
Pre-Positioned Aircraft
Aircraft stationed at client fire stations and facilities for immediate deployment when incidents occur.
Satellite-Linked Control
Starlink connectivity enables reliable remote piloting from Ohio to aircraft anywhere in the country.
24/7 Availability
Centralized operations enable round-the-clock mission capability without staffing multiple locations.
Scalable Coverage
One pilot can support multiple regions, scaling efficiently as client base grows.

Safety & Standards
Safety is not negotiable. Our operational culture is built on discipline, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Safety First
No mission is worth compromising safety. We maintain strict protocols and never pressure operators to fly in unsafe conditions.
Risk Management
Every mission includes formal risk assessment. We identify hazards early and develop specific mitigation strategies.
Continuous Improvement
We learn from every operation. After-action reviews and lessons learned feed back into our procedures.
Command Authority
Commander-Directed Response
Every AutonOps mission operates under the direction of the Incident Commander. We provide aerial intelligence and situational awareness - the IC makes all tactical decisions.
- All flight adjustments requested through IC
- Real-time video and sensor feeds to command post
- No autonomous tactical action without IC approval
- Integrates with existing incident command structure

Mission Planning Excellence
Thorough planning is the foundation of successful operations. We invest significant effort in pre-mission preparation to ensure smooth execution.
- Airspace Analysis
Verify airspace class, NOTAMs, TFRs, and any special requirements.
- Site Assessment
Evaluate terrain, obstacles, and environmental factors.
- Stakeholder Coordination
Align with all parties on objectives, timing, and communication.
- Contingency Planning
Develop procedures for equipment failure, weather, and emergencies.
