The new drone squadron of the Vienna Red Cross will be represented at the safety festival at Rathausplatz this weekend.

"With the new drone squadron, we are expanding our capabilities in rescue operations, disaster relief, and event security," said State Rescue Commander Georg Geczek in a statement on Friday. "Our drones are equipped with the latest technology - including thermal imaging cameras for search and rescue operations and AI-supported analysis of aerial images to assess movement flows and density distributions," reported the volunteer head of the drone squadron, Armin Fauland. "Currently, our staff is being trained, and from the first quarter of 2026, we will be operational around the clock."
