This presentation will explore how agencies and companies are measuring success beyond initial adoption—quantifying cost savings, operational efficiencies, risk reduction, and mission impact. The presenter will share real-world examples of how drone and robotics programs are delivering value, from reducing response times and enhancing situational awareness in public safety, to minimizing downtime and improving asset inspections in the energy and utility sectors.

A key part of the discussion will highlight the role of DRONERESPONDERS in shaping the future of public safety UAS operations through standardized training, best practices, and national-level coordination. The panel will examine how these efforts are helping agencies build sustainable programs, improve interoperability, and justify continued investment.
