Two sites
Two states side by side.
Crisis management and civil protection
When the network fails, the staff must know what is still valid.
In a flood or a fire the network is congested and some cells are down. The crisis staff decides on evacuation from the drone image and must know whether it is current.

Illustrative case study
A dike and a second site
This is not a customer and not a flight that happened. It is a description of how this area would read if the image carried its age.
A crisis staff, an illustration
The staff needs an image of a dike and of another site at the same time. An old frame of the water level must not look live. One cell in the valley is not enough.
In the example every drone has its own state. When the network at one site fails, the staff sees a neutral screen and the reason, not a frozen water level.
After the crisis a record remains of what the staff saw and when. It is not a municipal evacuation plan.
Outage
A reason, not silence.
Review
What was valid in that minute.
When both networks fail, a radio backup is not yet in the design.
Image age through the example

The chart is a simulation. Move the slowdown and see when the example stops being under the 50 ms target. The target is not a measured result.
Deployment schematic
Where everything stands and how the image travels
The schematic is not to scale and is not a design for a specific site. It shows where the drone is, which two networks carry the frame and where the decision is made.
Numbers in the schematic
- 1The staff launches two drones from one place.
- 2Dike H and a second site L2 at the same time.
- 3One cell in the valley is not enough. The frame goes over two networks.
- 4Platform shows two states side by side.
- 5The staff sees a neutral screen and the reason, not a frozen water level.
- 6The record: what the staff saw in which minute.
Symbols in the schematic
- BStation or launch point
- DDrone with AKIZU Brain

- PAKIZU Platform: fleet and pack
- OAKIZU Direct: operator and image state
Red and blue beacons: police, state, the military in training. Orange: everyone else. The blink is only on screen. Schematic, design. The list beside it explains the codes in the drawing. The beacon is a payload from another maker, not an AKIZU product.
Concrete case
Minute by minute
The same illustrative case as above, written out in time. The times are an example. It is not a record of a flight that happened.
- 04:30The staff convenes. Two sites, two drones.
- 04:40Drone 1 over dike H. Drone 2 over site L2.
- 05:05The network at L2 fails. The staff sees the reason, not an old level.
- 05:09The L2 image returns via the other network.
- 05:30Battery swap. The map shows a gap, not an empty site.
- 08:00Review: what was valid in that minute.

Use options
Everything it can be used for in this area
Each row is a separate use. The Parts column says which AKIZU parts it would involve. Status N is a design, C is a target, U is unknown.
| Use | Who uses it | What AKIZU supplies | Parts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floods and dikes | Crisis staff | Two image states side by side | Brain, SIM, Platform, Direct | N |
| A forest fire | Fire service and staff | An image of the edge with its age | Brain, SIM, Direct | N |
| A landslide | Civil protection | A repeat pass and a comparison of days | Brain, Platform | N |
| A staff exercise | Civil protection | A network-loss drill | Direct, Platform | N |
| Both networks failing | — | A radio backup is not yet there | — | U |
None of these uses is deployed today. A row is not an offer and not an authorisation to fly.
01
The problem today
01
Networks are congested or damaged
Many people call at once in the affected area and some masts have no power.
02
The image freezes without warning
The staff may look at a frame that is no longer valid for a long time and decide on it.
03
Decisions must be justified later
After the crisis you review what the staff knew and when. Without a record that is hard.
04
Several sites, one staff
A dike and a fire at once. An old frame of one site must not look like a live frame of the other.
Without AKIZU and with AKIZU
The same situation, different information on the screen. Proposed behaviour, to be verified in a pilot.
| Situation | Without AKIZU | With AKIZU |
|---|---|---|
| The image is late | The image looks live; the pilot does not know how old it is. | Frame age is on the screen and the state changes to Reduced freshness. N |
| Several drones, one team | The operator does not know which image is current. | Every drone has its own age and state. An old image is not treated as confirmation. N |
| One network fails | The image freezes or breaks up. | The frame arrives over the second network; the switch is logged. N |
| Link outage | The last frame stays on screen and looks valid. | A neutral screen with the reason, not a frozen image. N |
02
How it would work
- DispatchFirefighters or civil protection send the drone to a dike or a fire.
- MappingBrain sends the image over two operators; the first valid copy wins.
- OutageWhen both networks fail, Direct shows a neutral screen with the reason.
- ReviewPlatform stores the flight record for the crisis staff.
- Second siteAnother drone, another state. The staff sees them side by side.
The flow is illustrative. AKIZU is in development.

Sees whether the image is current and decides on evacuation.
02
Pilot
Gets a clear warning when the image stops being valid.
03
Post-crisis analyst
Gets the record for the review.
What we will measure in the pilot
- Time in Valid on a congested networkwe will measure in the pilot P
- Network switches without image loss≥ 95 % C

Context
Floods in Central Europe in 2024
In September 2024, after storm Boris, widespread floods hit Central Europe and rescuers also deployed helicopters.
Drone security is an EU priority
In February 2026 the European Commission published an action plan on drone and counter-drone security.
Source: European Commission
Which networks will AKIZU use?
LTE and 5G. The Brain Duo concept sends every frame through two operators at once. The 3GPP standard expects the network to recognise a drone in the air, so we plan AKIZU SIM cards with an aerial profile at the operator.
What happens when the network fails?
The station does not show an old frame as current. When the age exceeds the deadline it switches to a neutral screen and shows the reason. We measured the switch internally within 2.72 ms.
Where will data be stored?
The target is data centres in the European Union. The customer sets the retention period for records and video.
09
What the operator sees
The three image states in this area. Proposed behaviour, to be verified in a pilot.
The staff knows the image of the dike or the fire is valid.
An evacuation decision does not rest on an image nearing the deadline without the staff seeing that.
The staff sees that the network failed. They do not see a frozen water level as current.

How the fleet is laid out
Illustrative layout. Drone and station counts are an example, not an offer.
Mapping drone
Dike or fire
Image for the staff, not for a pilot on the spot.
Second drone
Another site
One staff, several places, each with a state.
Crisis staff

How a response runs
Times are an example. They show when image age decides.
- dispatchLaunchTwo networks from the start.
- mappingFlightFirst valid copy.
- outageNeutral screenA reason, not silence.
- afterReviewA record for the staff.

What we do not do in this area
Not a municipal crisis plan
AKIZU does not replace the staff or an evacuation.
Not a link when both networks fail
A radio backup is not yet in the design.
Not the rescuers
An image of known age. The service sends the people.
A pilot in this area
When the network fails, the staff must know what is still valid.
We are looking for first partners. The application is pre-filled for this area.
Other areas
Example deployments are illustrative. AKIZU is in development and does not replace a BVLOS authorisation.
In more detail
Before a meeting with a staff
Two sites are two states. An old water level must not look live.
One cell in the valley is not enough as an assumption. Bring the places, not a map of the whole country.
When both networks fail, a radio backup is not there yet. That should be said before the exercise, not after it.
Bring to the meeting
- Two sites, not twenty.
- Who reads the image.
- What the staff today treats as live video.
This is not
- An evacuation plan.
- A warning to residents.
- Crisis command.
