many projects such as the international report of good drone practices for fire and rescue services (AUVSI Public Safety Award 2021) but also working groups to deepen and innovate in drone practices.
The numerous conferences, seminars and webinars organized by IEDO aim to create and support exchanges of knowledge and experience which are essential to accelerate the development and secure control of the use of drones in public security agencies.
A major project for IEDO
After a full year of preparation, the World Emergency Drone Conference was held on December 12 and 13, 2023 at the Cité des Sciences (famous national science museum). This event brought together more than 200 people from 31 countries agencies, 19 search and rescue associations, 1 coast guard service, and 1 medical service.
IEDO has always discreetly dreamed of an international conference to bring together emergency pilots so that quality exchanges enrich them and that they bring data, knowledge and contacts back to their respective countries. Create bridges of knowledge between countries for more efficiency and security in the drone operations of public security agencies. Supported by the presence of Damian CRUMMEY representing the International Police Association and that of Milan DUBRAVAC, president of the CTIF, but also supported by the sponsors XSUN, FOTOKITE and SECURITON, the conference welcomed 26 international speakers. The many presentations dealt with a wide variety of subjects from the inter-agency team, the use of drones in a CBRN environment (with 2 experts from the USA), innovation with autonomous or solar-powered drones,
