Michèle Knodt and Uwe Klingauf, the directors of the Hessian Drone Competence Centre (HDCC) at TU Darmstadt, visited the Hessian Police Aviation Unit in Egelsbach.
Moritz von Zezschwitz, head of the police aviation unit, and Alexander Bigdon, who is in charge of the drone division, provided fascinating insights into their work. It was particularly interesting to hear first-hand about their experiences with drones in police operations.
„We presented the HDCC and explored together the links between research and police practice. This has led to some initial ideas for collaboration. We are looking forward to this,“ says Michèle Knodt.
