A joint December 2021 report by the ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, argues that drones allow covert surveillance. When flying hundreds of feet aloft the craft are virtually impossible to see or hear, and citizens have little hope of knowing what they are carrying.

Nearly 1,500 US police departments operate drones but only about a dozen routinely dispatch them in response to 911 calls, according to ACLU research. Drone maker Skydio aims to see that change, with a new model launched last week called the X10. The goal, cofounder and CEO Adam Bry said during a launch event last week in San Francisco, is to “get drones everywhere they can be useful in public safety.”

The busy Labor Day for NYPD drones shows the department moving toward treating drones as first responders, says Daniel Schwarz, senior privacy and technology strategist at the New York Civil Liberties Union. The nonprofit says problematic use of police drones, including at protests in 15 cities after the 2020 death of George Floyd, shows legislation is needed to limit police use of the technology. The ACLU wants bans on drone use at protests and adding weapons to the craft, and guardrails to prevent drones being combined with other forms of surveillance technology like face recognition or ShotSpotter.

The new drone is capable of flying at speeds of 45 miles per hour and is small enough to fit into the trunk of a police car. It has infrared sensors that can be used to track people and fly autonomously in the dark. Four payload bays on the X10 can carry accessories like a speaker, spotlight, or a parachute for emergency landings. A 65X zoom camera can read a license plate from 800 feet away and follow a vehicle from a distance of 3 miles.

After careful consideration, the 2020 International Conference on Biofabrication Local Organising Committee, in consultation with the International Society for Biofabrication Board, have decided to postpone Biofabrication 2020 in light of the global COVID-19 situation. The health and safety of our delegates, speakers, guests, our Organising Committee and the wider community is our top priority.

We hope that the world will have returned to a more familiar state by September, but as the COVID-19 situation continues to shift daily, we feel it is the right decision to postpone the Conference at this time.

At a press conference in July, New York mayor Eric Adams announced that his police department would begin controlling drone flight licenses for the city. While holding a Skydio remote control as a prop, he voiced support for using drones to stop high-speed car chases.

New capabilities like those could encourage wider use of drones in law enforcement at a time when policy concerning their use is still developing. Tests by emergency responders and the US Federal Aviation Administration to extend drone flights beyond the operator’s line of sight and respond to 911 calls started in 2017. Civil liberties advocates say there is a lack of rules to limit drone use in sensitive contexts like protests or in concert with other forms of surveillance technology.

Drone deployments by police, like other forms of surveillance, risk falling into historical patterns of targeting certain groups. A 2021 analysis by Amnesty International of surveillance cameras throughout New York City found that they disproportionately threaten the civil liberties of people of color.

At the Skydio event last week, New York Police Department chief of patrols John Chell said he thinks drones can cut down on the need for helicopter deployments. In the near future he envisions the city police academy training recruits in how to pilot drones, placing at least one drone at each of the more than 70 precincts across New York, and drones launching autonomously to investigate alerts of potential gunshots heard by AI-powered tool ShotSpotter. Skydio introduced docks last year that house and charge drones and can enable autonomous take off.

Australian Maritime College (AMC)  (AMC) at the University of Tasmania has a global reputation for its high-quality education and research, producing first-class graduates keenly desired by industry, and research with broad impact.

“I think mitigating or eliminating high-speed chases will be one of the major applications that we'll see with customers, largely based on that zoom camera,” Bry says.

As part of the rollout of the X10, Skydio announced a partnership with Axon, which makes Tasers and other police technology. Video from Skydio drones will be more closely integrated into the software Axon sells police departments for incident response and managing evidence.

Tasmania is an island state of Australia. It is located 240 kilometres to the south of the Australian mainland, separated from it by the Bass Strait, with the archipelago containing the southernmost point of the country. With the Indian Ocean to the West, the Pacific to the East and the Southern Ocean to the South, Tasmania is no stranger to all things maritime. Laying smack bang in the path of the roaring forties, Tasmanians have a strong relationship and respect for the sea.

Curtis Sliwa founded New York neighborhood watch group Guardian Angels in 1979 to patrol city streets at a time of widespread concern about violent crime. Last month, he used his radio show to accuse the NYPD and Adams of using drones to intimidate the crowd while Sliwa spoke at a recent anti-immigration protest. An unsigned email from the NYPD sent in response to questions from WIRED says that a drone was deployed in Staten Island that month to assess pedestrian congestion, vehicular traffic, and other public safety concerns.

The NYPD’s new interest in drones has drawn criticism from civil liberties groups like the ACLU and the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project, but also from less expected voices.

This month, at another news conference, Adams said New York is behind other police departments in drone deployment but will “become the leader in how to properly use drones.” He pledged to use more surveillance and technology following an increase in some measures of crime last year.

Bry says Skydio is not working with Axon on weaponizing drones and that Skydio doesn’t support weaponizing drones or robots, but he added that it’s difficult to stop people from making hacks or custom modifications. Last year, Axon suggested using autonomous Taser-mounted drones to stop mass shootings, and the majority of the company’s AI Ethics board resigned in protest.

Ahead of the recent Labor Day holiday, one NYPD commissioner pledged to monitor large backyard gatherings using drones. At the Skydio event last week, Chell praised the NYPD for making 10 drone deployments over that holiday weekend, including at the J’Ouvert and West Indian Day celebrations, and the Electric Zoo music festival. He said they helped prevent retaliation following a shooting and contributed to officers apprehending three carjacking suspects. An NYPD spokesperson did not respond to requests for additional details about recent drone deployments.

When Skydio launched nearly a decade ago, it focused on selling drones to outdoor athletes interested in a machine something like an autonomous aerial GoPro, following them down a mountain or trail while capturing video. That began to change in 2020 when Skydio got picked as one of a handful of companies approved for off-the-shelf use by branches of the US military. Today Skydio’s customers include BNSF Railway, utility companies in California and Illinois, and law enforcement agencies like the NYPD.
