This document discusses the future use of drones in control rooms for safety-critical applications. It outlines how drones can provide better information more quickly to control rooms for public safety, transport, air traffic management, maritime operations, and defense. The document presents a vision for integrated drone management systems that allow control rooms to coordinate multiple drones to improve response times and safety across various industries.
