Solution Name

Lantern

Solution Description

Lantern is a decentralised drone coordination system designed for emergency response. It enables multiple drones to divide a survey area, share coverage data and build a common incident map. Coordination runs onboard the drones without a central controller. If one drone drops out, the remaining drones are designated to take over its original assigned area. Mission data is distributed across the fleet so it can be recovered even if some drones are not under monitoring.

Mondrova can demonstrate area assignment, coverage reassignment and mission data recovery in a working 12 drones simulation. A first indoor flight has been completed. Outdoor multi-drone trials and thermal hotspot detection are planned.

Use Case

Lantern helps incident commanders see which areas have been surveyed and where aerial coverage is still needed. The drones divide the incident area among themselves and combine their observations into a shared map for the command post. If a drone drops out, the remaining drones redistribute its assigned area and continue the survey without relying on a central controller. The response team can use the map to identify gaps in coverage and prioritise the next areas to survey.
