Mission mapping for RPAS teams
From the air to the ground, in seconds.
Response Vision puts what the drone finds onto every crew's phone, tracks each point of interest until it's dealt with, and writes the mission record as the job happens. It runs in the RPAS vehicle, with no internet needed.
Field test, 7 October 2026, DJI Matrice 30T with DJI Pilot 2.
The problem
What the drone finds takes too long to reach the crews who act on it.
Photos stay on the aircraft's memory card until someone copies them off. Locations are described over the radio. Whether a hotspot was dealt with isn't written down in one place, and the paperwork is pieced together the next day.
Fast
A point of interest goes from the drone to every crew's phone in seconds, not after the memory card is copied.
Works where you work
Runs in the RPAS vehicle on its own network. No signal is needed on the fireground.
Accountable
Every update shows who made it and when. Nothing is deleted, and the report is ready at the end of the job.
Yours
Your agency owns its data and can export it at any time, in standard formats. No lock-in.
How it works
Everything runs in the RPAS vehicle. The internet is a bonus, not a need.
The drone, the crews and incident control all connect to Response Vision on the vehicle's own network. When there's a connection, everything is also copied to a central server for backup and remote viewing.
- The mission opensFrom the RPAS page, or by importing the approved AVCRM job document.
- The drone finds pointsEach photo becomes a numbered point, placed by the laser rangefinder.
- Crews join and updateScan a QR code, tap Dealt with, Monitor or Not of interest.
- Incident control sees it allEvery point, its status, and who updated it last.
- The report writes itselfMap, points, flights, crew and the full log, ready to print.
What it does
One app on any phone, tablet or laptop. Nothing to install.
Points of interest on a shared map
Drone photos become numbered points within seconds, placed where the laser rangefinder found the target, with thermal and wide photos side by side.
One tap to update
Crews mark a point Open, Monitor, Dealt with or Not of interest, with a note or photo. Every update carries a name and a time.
Live drone and video
The aircraft's position and path on the map, and its live video in the browser over the vehicle network. Video is recorded.
Other crews join by QR code
Crews from other brigades and agencies scan a code and enter their name. No account or app. Access ends when the mission closes.
Mapping photos kept apart
Photos from mapping routes don't clutter the map. They're grouped into sets, ready for orthomosaic processing.
AVCRM approvals
Import an approved AVCRM job and the mission opens with its time, pilots and approval details, and the approved operational area drawn on the map.
Records without paperwork
Flights from take-off to landing, crew attendance, pilots and observers, and every update. A printable mission report at the end of the job.
Media library
Every photo, video and map from every mission, searchable by mission, date, camera and aircraft, with bulk download.
Works offline, syncs later
Everything runs in the vehicle. When a connection appears, missions, photos and video are copied to the central server.
Built for the dark
Every point has one clear state.
The app opens dark so it doesn't blind a crew at night. Four colours mean four statuses and nothing else, and each comes with a symbol so it never relies on colour alone.
Use cases
Wildfire first. Ready for the other jobs RPAS teams fly.
Each incident type has its own set of tags, so crews use the words that fit the job.
Wildfire mop-up
Find every heat source at last light, get a crew to each one, and know when the last one is out.
An illustration, using the field test's numbers.
Structure fire
Heat in roof voids and walls, hazards for crews, and what's been extinguished.
Search and rescue
Thermal sightings sent straight to ground teams, and a record of every area searched.
Training flights
Practise the real workflow, with the AVCRM approval and its operational area on the map.
Security and data
Your data stays on your equipment.
Every action is linked to a named person, and personal information is kept to what the job needs.
- Your accounts. Members sign in with your organisation's Microsoft account, and sign-in still works offline.
- Clear permissions. Only a mission's pilots, observers or an admin can change its settings.
- Limited guest access. A QR code works for one mission only and ends when it closes.
- Nothing deleted. Missions, photos and logs are kept; finished missions are archived.
- Minimal personal information. Crew attendance keeps names and status only.
- No lock-in. Export missions, photos and reports in standard formats at any time.
- Your identity stays yours. Response Vision carries its own brand. Your agency appears only as the operator on reports, if you choose.
Questions
Common questions
Does it need the internet?
No. Response Vision runs on a small computer in the RPAS vehicle, and the drone, phones and laptops connect to it over the vehicle's network. Maps are saved before heading out. When there is a connection, everything is also copied to a central server.
Which drones does it work with?
Aircraft flown with DJI Pilot 2 connect through its Open Platform: live position, flights, photo and video upload, and live video. It has been field tested with a DJI Matrice 30T. Photos from other aircraft can be imported after the flight.
Do crews need an app or an account?
No. Crews scan the mission's QR code with their phone's camera and enter their name. It works in any modern phone browser.
Where is our data kept?
On your equipment: the computer in the RPAS vehicle, and a central server you control. Response Vision doesn't hold your mission data.
Does it work with the tools we already use?
Yes. Missions can open from your RPAS pages or an approved AVCRM job, an external live-stream link can be shown in a mission, and sign-in uses your Microsoft accounts.
How is it priced?
Licensing and support are agreed with each agency. Get in touch to arrange a demonstration and talk through what you need.
