OSWEGO COUNTY – Oswego County is set to enhance its drone capabilities to support faster response times for boaters in distress on Oneida Lake. The ‘Drone as a First Responder’ Program is part of a new partnership with Northeast UAS Airspace Integration Research (NUAIR) Alliance.

Deployed by operators at the Oswego County E-911 Communications Center in Oswego, these public safety drones will be able to search Oneida Lake for distressed boaters, allowing emergency response crews from the shoreline to reach them more quickly.
