Percepto, the provider of on-site autonomous drone solutions, revealed that it has participated in an operational experimentation program with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Science and Technology Directorate in collaboration with the U.S. Army. 

Urban warfare test

Percepto was invited to participate in the program to evaluate the ability of autonomous drones to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations and to confirm the presence of adversary assets.

The event held at Quantico, VA, in March 2019, enabled more than 100 participants from the DHS, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, academia and the private sector to experience the Percepto Solution alongside 25 other technologies, in an urban warfare test scenario.

Applications where drones can be used

CEO of Percepto, Dor Abuhasira states: “Percepto was honoured to be invited to participate in this operational experimentation program. We embrace every opportunity to challenge our solution in the toughest environments anywhere in the world, and to showcase the wide range of applications where autonomous drones can be utilised.”

The Percepto Solution is currently in use around the world including a number of Fortune 500 organisations. It is ideally suited to any large-scale enterprises looking to improve security, increase productivity and reduce safety risks and operational costs.
