MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621006473 A) filed by St. Vincent Pallotti College Of Engineering And Technology, Nagpur, Maharashtra, on Jan. 22, for 'an unmanned aerial vehicle system for emergency response.'
Inventor(s) include Pathak, Abhishek D; and Araikar, Aman.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for emergency response. The system comprises a centralized operations center communicatively linked to a fleet of UAVs stationed at designated hubs, an SOS integration module for receiving and verifying distress signals, an autonomous navigation module with GPS and obstacle avoidance sensors, and a sensor payload including high-resolution cameras and audio acquisition units. An AI processing module performs face detection, facial recognition, and behavioral analysis, while a non-lethal marking subsystem applies visible, harmless marks on suspects under human-in-the-loop authorization. Real-time video, audio, and telemetry are securely transmitted via a communication module to maintain situational awareness and evidence integrity through cryptographic storage. The system enables rapid dispatch, continuous suspect tracking, ethical intervention, and secure evidence collection, with applications in policing, disaster response, crowd management, border security, and smart city safety operations."
