How AI-Powered Radar Could Revolutionize Public Safety Drones

Join the Conversation: A Free Webinar on Next-Gen Drone Sensing

On May 6, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, DRONELIFE and DRONERESPONDERS will host a critical discussion on the future of public safety drones. The one-hour webinar, titled Public Safety Drone Review, is open to all—but you’ll need to register in advance to secure your spot.

“The integration of AI and compact radar systems is transforming how first responders operate in high-stakes environments,” says Lori DeMatteis, the featured speaker and Chief Revenue Officer at MatrixSpace.

Meet the Expert: Lori DeMatteis on AI and Sensing Tech

DeMatteis brings two decades of tech sales expertise to the table, with stints at industry giants like GE, Oracle, and Honeywell. Now at MatrixSpace, she’s championing lightweight, AI-driven radar solutions designed specifically for drones. These low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) systems could be a game-changer for emergency teams navigating smoke-filled buildings, disaster zones, or hostile terrain.

What’s on the Agenda?

The session will unpack pressing questions: How can AI enhance drone sensing in real time? What hurdles remain in integrating these systems into public safety workflows? Expect deep dives into:

  • Low-SWaP radar’s role in expanding drone capabilities
  • Case studies from defense and emergency services
  • The accelerating adoption of drones by law enforcement and SAR teams

Why MatrixSpace Matters

MatrixSpace isn’t just another sensor vendor. Their focus on compact, AI-enhanced radar aims to give first responders something invaluable: situational awareness when it matters most. Whether it’s piercing through fog during a wildfire or detecting survivors in collapsed structures, their tech could redefine mission-critical operations.
