A disclosed method includes monitoring a plurality of emergency event queues at an emergency network entity; determining that an emergency event in one of the emergency event queues corresponds to an emergency type that can be responded to using an unmanned aerial vehicle; determining that an unmanned aerial vehicle is available that has capabilities corresponding to the emergency type; establishing an unmanned aerial vehicle control link between the unmanned aerial vehicle and the emergency network entity; and deploying the unmanned aerial vehicle to the emergency event location and providing data from the unmanned aerial vehicle on a display of the emergency network entity.

Drone management system comprising at least one drone (1) and a logistic support unit (2) of said drone (1). Said drone (1) comprising at least one container (3) adapted to contain service material, which container (3) comprises at least one inlet mouth (34 35) of said service material and expulsion means (35) of said service material. Said logistic support unit (2) comprises a resupply area of said container (3), which resupply area comprises resupply means (43, 44, 45) of said container. Said resupply means comprise position locking means (45) of said container (3), dispensing means communicating with a tank and a dispensing mouth (43, 44) adapted to communicate with said inlet mouth (34, 35), said resupply area comprising a basin element (4), the walls (41) of which converge towards said resupply means.

An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) controlled netting system is disclosed. The system includes a mesh netting and a battery powered UAV. The mesh netting includes a plurality of nettings arranged as interspersed layers in a mesh form. Each of the plurality of nettings has fire-resistant property. The battery powered UAV is present at an aerial location and the mesh netting is coupled to the battery powered UAV. The battery powered UAV is configured to maintain the mesh netting afloat and auto-adjust size of the mesh netting and porosity, based on one or more of size of embers in a fire and the quality of the fire.

The flying conveyor device includes a drone and a conveying module. The drone includes a frame body and a plurality of aeronautic units. The frame body defines a frame hole. The aeronautic units are connected to and are spaced apart angularly around the frame body. The conveying module is connected to the drone, and includes a conveying duct connected to the frame body and having a top duct open end connected to the frame body and spatially communicated with the frame hole, a bottom duct open end lower than the top duct open end, and a slide channel extending from the top duct open end to the bottom duct open end. When the drone ascends, the frame body pulls the top duct open end upward to a high level, and a descending movement is allowed through the frame hole and the slide channel.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can be configured for fire suppression and ignition. In some examples, the UAV includes an aerial propulsion system, an ignition system, and a control system. The ignition system includes a container of delayed-ignition balls and a dropper configured, by virtue of one or more motors, to actuate and drop the delayed-ignition balls. The control system is configured to cause the UAV to fly to a site of a prescribed burn and, while flying over the site of the prescribed burn, actuate one or more of the delayed-ignition balls. After actuating the one or more delayed-ignition balls, the UAV drops the actuated one or more delayed-ignition balls from the UAV onto the site of the prescribed burn.
