DroneControl + TAK Demonstrated Live at the Economic Forum in Karpacz

DroneControl’s TAK integration was demonstrated this week at the Economic Forum in Karpacz, Poland, within the event’s Civil Defense Zone, in cooperation with EDU TAK and Piotr Nowak.

The Economic Forum is one of the leading political and economic gatherings in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing together representatives from government, public institutions, business, academia, security and technology.

The Civil Defense Zone focuses specifically on the technologies and operational capabilities supporting crisis management, emergency response, public safety and situational awareness.

It provided an ideal environment to demonstrate what becomes possible when drone operations are integrated directly into the TAK ecosystem.

Building momentum around TAK integration

Our cooperation with EDU TAK, led by Piotr Nowak, is focused on demonstrating the practical potential of integrating DroneControl with TAK for operational users.

Piotr brings extensive experience from public-safety and emergency-response environments, alongside deep practical knowledge of TAK and situational-awareness technologies.

EDU TAK focuses on the practical use of TAK across areas including crisis management, emergency response, multi-agency coordination and operational situational awareness.

That operational focus makes our cooperation particularly relevant for DroneControl.

Rather than looking at the technology simply as another software integration, the discussions are centred on how drone data can become part of the Common Operational Picture used by teams making decisions in the field and within command environments.

Switzerland to Poland — live

For the demonstration in Karpacz, we wanted to show something more powerful than slides or prerecorded video.

A DroneControl-enabled drone operating in Switzerland was connected live to the demonstration environment in Poland.

Visitors were able to see the drone operation remotely, including live video and operational information, demonstrating how drone data can be incorporated into a broader situational-awareness environment.

The live connection between Switzerland and Poland created a genuine “wow” effect among visitors at the event.

It demonstrated a simple but powerful concept: the drone does not need to be physically close to the people viewing or using its information.

Operational teams, commanders and other authorised users can access relevant drone intelligence remotely and incorporate it into the wider operational picture.

Turning the drone into an operational sensor within TAK

This is at the heart of the DroneControl + TAK integration.

It is not simply about connecting another drone application.

The objective is to make the drone another live operational sensor within the TAK ecosystem.

DroneControl can bring live drone video, telemetry and operational information into an environment where teams are already sharing location, mapping and situational-awareness information.

For emergency services, public-safety organisations, search and rescue teams, crisis-management organisations and other operational users, this has the potential to significantly improve how drone intelligence is shared.

Instead of drone information remaining with the individual pilot, the objective is to make that information available as part of a shared operational picture.

That is particularly powerful in multi-agency environments, where different organisations need to understand the same situation and coordinate their response.

Strong conversations and interest in Karpacz

The reaction in Karpacz was extremely encouraging.

We had some excellent conversations about the practical use of DroneControl and TAK within crisis management, emergency response, search and rescue, local-government coordination and other public-safety scenarios.

The combination of the live demonstration, operational TAK environment and physical drone platforms helped make the capability very tangible for visitors.

Rather than discussing what might theoretically be possible, people could see a real drone operating in Switzerland and its information being made available live in Poland.

That generated strong interest and several valuable discussions around future operational use cases.

Looking ahead across Central and Eastern Europe

For DroneControl, the Karpacz demonstration represents another important step in the growing momentum behind our TAK integration across Central and Eastern Europe.

We are looking forward to continuing our cooperation with Piotr and EDU TAK, particularly around demonstrations, technical integration, education and the development of practical TAK use cases.

The response in Karpacz reinforced the potential we see for DroneControl’s TAK capabilities across the wider region, particularly within crisis management, public safety, emergency response and multi-agency operations.

A huge thank you to Piotr Nowak and the EDU TAK team for including DroneControl in the Karpacz demonstration and for helping make the live Switzerland-to-Poland connection possible.

We would also like to thank the Conscious Civil Defense Association (Stowarzyszenie Świadoma Obrona Cywilna), co-organiser of the Civil Defense Zone, for creating an environment in which organisations could explore and demonstrate new approaches to civil protection, crisis response and situational awareness.

We look forward to building on the interest generated at the event and continuing to drive momentum behind DroneControl + TAK across Central and Eastern Europe.

Secure. Integrated. Mission Ready.
