The Honorable City Council of Alcorcón, in the Community of Madrid, has made an important decision as part of its commitment to keeping the technological tools of the Municipal Police up to date, by opening a public tender for the preventive and corrective maintenance of its drone fleet. This fleet, made up of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) from the renowned brand Autel Robotics, has become a fundamental tool for daily surveillance tasks, traffic control, and other critical security missions in the area.
Drones have become an essential part of the modernization of police services in many cities in Spain and around the world. These devices allow for aerial monitoring, which would otherwise require a greater number of human and logistical resources. In Alcorcón, the Municipal Police drones have proven their effectiveness in a variety of situations, from managing large crowds, to identifying real-time infractions, assisting in search and rescue operations, and monitoring hard-to-reach areas. Due to the constant use and operational conditions in which these drones work, the preventive and corrective maintenance of the fleet is of utmost importance to ensure uninterrupted operation and prolong the equipment’s lifespan.
In this context, High Line Division Unmanned Systems, a highly specialized company in the unmanned aircraft sector, applied to take on the maintenance contract for the drone fleet of the Alcorcón City Council’s Police Department. With a long track record as the official distributor and Authorized Service Center for Autel Robotics in Spain, HLDUS has the experience and knowledge necessary to offer a high-quality service that guarantees the optimal performance of these advanced systems.
Autel Robotics is one of the world’s leading brands in the manufacturing of drones, especially designed for professional applications, such as police and security tasks. Their products stand out for the advanced technology they incorporate, such as high-resolution cameras, thermal sensors, and autonomous flight capabilities that allow operators to carry out complex missions with great precision. By using these drones, the Municipal Police of Alcorcón ensures it has a cutting-edge technological tool that can assist in law enforcement more effectively and efficiently.
The contract awarded to High Line Division Unmanned Systems covers not only preventive maintenance, which is crucial to avoiding malfunctions before they occur, but also corrective maintenance, which allows for the repair of drone systems when failures or breakdowns arise. This dual approach to services ensures that the fleet is always in optimal operational condition. Preventive maintenance includes periodic reviews of electronic systems, motors, batteries, and other key components, while corrective maintenance covers the repair of any type of malfunction, from minor issues to significant failures that could compromise flight safety or mission effectiveness.
It is important to highlight that in the tender process, High Line Division Unmanned Systems stood out not only for its status as an official distributor of Autel Robotics, but also for its reputation in the sector, technical capacity, and highly trained team of professionals. The company has a certified technical team, specialized in drone maintenance and repair, which follows the strictest quality and safety standards. This, combined with its previous experience in managing drone fleets for other security bodies and public entities, was decisive in securing the contract.
The contract, which covers the years 2024 and 2025, is an important step in ensuring that the Municipal Police of Alcorcón continues to have access to the best technological resources in their daily work. The use of drones has proven to be an effective tool not only for increasing security, but also for reducing operational costs and improving response capability in critical situations. For example, drones allow for real-time surveillance without the need to deploy officers on the ground, which is especially useful in mass events, demonstrations, or high-risk situations where response time is crucial.
In addition to ensuring the operational status of the drone fleet, HLDUS will also offer additional system upgrades and improvements, ensuring that the drones are always equipped with the latest technological innovations developed by Autel Robotics during the term of the contract. This includes potential improvements in drone software, as well as the incorporation of new sensors or capabilities that will allow the Municipal Police of Alcorcón to continue adapting to the new demands of their work.
In conclusion, the awarding of the maintenance contract for the Municipal Police of Alcorcón’s drone fleet to High Line Division Unmanned Systems ensures not only the proper functioning of these devices over the next two years but also the continuation of a partnership that is committed to applying technological innovation to public safety. This decision reinforces the City Council of Alcorcón’s commitment to the modernization of police resources and to the constant improvement in the quality of services offered to its citizens.
