The drone weather app for UAV and FPV pilots: DroneTools checks the current wind, gusts, rain, Kp index and daylight at your location and shows the flight conditions as a clear traffic light. One look and you know whether you can fly. Made for drone pilots in hobby, photography, film, surveying, inspection and emergency services. And for organizations with a DJI Dock: FireDock brings the incident, the map and live video in real time to your iPhone and iPad.

DLRG Einsatzboard unterstützt Einsatzleitungen und Führungskräfte bei der strukturierten Organisation, Lageführung und Dokumentation von Einsätzen. Die App bündelt wichtige Einsatzinformationen an einem Ort: Einsätze anlegen, Kräfte und Mittel disponieren, Einsatzaufträge übermitteln, Lagekarte und Lageplan pflegen, Patienten dokumentieren und Protokolle als PDF exportieren. Für größere Lagen können zusätzliche Geräte als Interface gekoppelt werden. So erhalten Boote, Unfallhilfsstellen, Abschnittsleitungen oder weitere Funktionen genau die Informationen, die sie für ihre Aufgabe benötigen. Die Kopplung erfolgt über einen verschlüsselten QR-Code. Funktionen: • Einsatzverwaltung für Akut- und geplante Einsätze • Übersicht über aktive, beendete und archivierte Einsätze • Kräfte- und Mittelverwaltung • Einsatzaufträge mit Ziel, Details und Sondersignal • Lagekarte mit Markern und Einheitenpositionen • Lageplan auf Basis eigener Bilder • Patientenverwaltung mit Vitalwerten, Bericht und Übergaben • Einsatzprotokoll mit aktuellen und nachgetragenen Einträgen • PDF-Export für Einsatzprotokolle und Patientenprotokolle • Individuelle Benutzerrechte von Vollzugriff bis Nur-Lesen • Interface-Modus für gekoppelte Einsatzmittel und Funktionen • Unterstützung für Hell-/Dunkelmodus DLRG Einsatzboard ist für den praktischen Einsatz im Führungs- und Dokumentationsalltag konzipiert. Die App hilft dabei, Informationen übersichtlich zu erfassen, Aufgaben nachvollziehbar zu verteilen und relevante Einsatzdaten strukturiert zu dokumentieren. Hinweis: Die App ersetzt keine fachliche Ausbildung, keine Einsatzentscheidung und keine organisationsintern vorgeschriebene Dokumentationsprüfung.
