Clear evidence shows just how critically customers value drone data security
- 85% of customers say that "data security of the drone" was very or somewhat important when selecting a drone platform, according to a survey conducted by Teledyne FLIR. The survey polled 629 drone professionals across public safety and enterprise businesses in the U.S.
- Other interesting data points uncovered in that survey include 89% of respondents agreed or somewhat agreed that they want to choose whether data is sent to the cloud, 68% of respondents expressed some level of concern that data captured by their respective drone programs might be accessible to foreign governments or other entities that might be considered hostile to their organization/work and 49% of respondents had been impacted by regulation around drones originating from 'countries of concern'.
- Teledyne conducted this survey between July and August 2024, and 74% of respondents said they were a Part 107-certified pilot.
- Approximately half (well, 49 percent, to be exact) of the survey respondents said their organizations had been impacted by legislation seeking to limit or ban drones from certain countries, largely applies to drones made in China.
- In 2020, approximately 31% of FLIR’s revenues came from the U.S. federal government and its agencies. Federal entities have long been more likely to use American made drones versus Chinese drones (like DJI drones) for a few reasons, which includes existing requirements to use American-made products.
- FLIR builds thermal cameras used on American drones, which includes the Teal 2 from Teal, as well as drones from Vantage Robotics.
- FLIR recently launched an improved version of its Hadron 640 series thermal camera, the Hadron 640+. That's by way of the AI-powered thermal camera featuring enhanced thermal sensitivity.
- The results of the 2024 survey are largely consistent with responses from the 2023 version of the same survey.
- The survey is centered around drone data security and polled drone professionals across public safety and enterprise businesses in the U.S.
- FLIR could continue to grow — government mandated or not. That’s due to better partnerships and product launches.
