BUILDING A COMPANY’S DESIGN CAPABILITY
When seconds matter, clarity wins. We built Fotokite’s internal design muscle and shaped Sigma, an actively tethered aerial robotic system that delivers instant, continuous situational awareness. One button to launch, fly, and land; thermal and HD views switch seamlessly; streams share to command in real time. Designed for the realities of Public Safety, measured in lives saved.

FROM THE IF DESIGN AWARD JURY
"So simple yet so exquisite in every detail. The entire user journey has been considered, with usability clearly explained. Everything here is well thought out: the surface treatment, the materials, the components, the camera, the box, the interaction — everything!"
Users only set flight altitude and camera angle. They switch between thermal and HD cameras. Live feeds can be shared with command centers or remote experts. All footage is recorded, letting users replay any past moment. An automatic incident report is produced, greatly cutting post-incident paperwork. The system gives an immediate, complete scene overview, including heat signatures
