Drone Safety Day: Exploring Advanced Safety in Drone Shows

In response, SPH Engineering has embedded safety into the very DNA of their products’ mission, taking significant steps to enhance safety at drone shows. Their Drone Show Software (DSS) was rigorously tested in collaboration with Drone Show Community experts to gather diverse insights and feedback, enhancing the software’s effectiveness. DSS is the safest solution on the market, designed to mitigate risks through rigorous testing and innovative features.

The software addresses various challenges, such as pilot errors and drone malfunctions. It incorporates several sophisticated features to ensure smooth and safe operations:

• Automatic Risk Reduction - the software identifies and mitigates erratic drone behaviors and pilot errors. Safety-enhancing alerts feature was developed using data, analysis, and the impact of 70+ emergencies over the past 8 years. This advanced early warning system instantly informs operators of potential issues or system failures so problems can be swiftly resolved before danger or damage occurs.
• Predictive Algorithms - these systems predict potential issues by analyzing environmental data and previous performances in the case of potential incidents.

While Drone Show Software is advanced, following basic guidelines is essential for safety. These guidelines are fundamental human practices that work alongside the technological solutions:

1. Pre-Flight Inspections: Even with advanced predictive features, conducting thorough pre-flight checks and assessing environmental suitability before each show is crucial.
2. Secure Flight Areas: Ensuring the flight zone is clearly marked and secured against unauthorized access minimizes risks of external disruptions.
3. Insurance Coverage: All operations must be backed by comprehensive insurance, providing a safety buffer for operators and audience alike in case of accidents.
4. Continued Operator Training: Operators must continuously learn and practice to keep up-to-date with the latest software updates and safety protocols. Understanding all features of Drone Show Software is essential for fully utilizing its capabilities.

Safety across the drone show industry involves everyone — from the manufacturers and software developers to the pilots and venue staff, all adhering to stringent safety standards to ensure every aspect of the show is secure. This collective effort transforms potential risks into assured safety.

By embedding robust safety measures into routine, securing operations with insurance, and providing continuous training and inspections, Drone Show Software has become the trusted choice for over 200 drone show providers globally. This reflects the effectiveness of the system and the Drone Show Community’s commitment to presenting safe, awe-inspiring shows.
