How BF Kiel Is Automating Lifesaving Missions over the Baltic Sea
BF Kiel, a pioneering German emergency response organization, is transforming coastal safety through autonomous technology. In collaboration with FlytBase, the team has deployed Drone First Response (DFR) operations powered by DJI Dock 2 and FlytBase Cloud, delivering faster, smarter, and weather-aware responses across the Baltic Sea coastline.

What You’ll See
Autonomous drones launching directly from DJI Dock 2, navigating complex coastal weather, and streaming real-time video intelligence through FlytBase Cloud.
Watch how BF Kiel’s DFR system executes multi-mission operations — from search-and-rescue to fire and crash response — powered by continuous mission planning and in-air updates that eliminate the need for mid-operation returns.
Key Highlights
- Autonomous Drone Dispatch: Instant launch from dock on emergency trigger—no pilot needed.
- Weather-Integrated Search Patterns: Live wind, tide, and drift data shape dynamic flight paths for precision coverage.
- Continuous Missions: Back-to-back flights enabled by real-time in-air mission uploads, reducing downtime to zero.
- Multi-Response Capability: Supporting rescue, fire, and vehicle accident operations.
- Life-Saving Impact: Shrinking response times in critical rescue windows where every second counts.
