Eyeson, a developer of advanced video communication platforms and APIs, has formed a strategic partnership with Parrot, a European drone manufacturer, to enhance live video collaboration and real-time situational awareness for drone operations in defense and public safety sectors.

The collaboration integrates Eyeson’s resilient, low-bandwidth video streaming technology directly into Parrot’s drone ecosystem, enabling remote experts and field operators to interact with live UAV video feeds—even in bandwidth-constrained or contested environments. By merging multiple video and data streams into a single optimized feed, Eyeson’s patented single-stream technology ensures seamless, reliable transmission while significantly reducing latency and bandwidth usage.

Andreas Kröpfl, CEO of Eyeson, said, “We are thrilled to partner with Parrot to bring the power of Eyeson’s video technology and APIs further into the drone industry. By combining Parrot’s cutting-edge drone technology with Eyeson’s scalable, super resilient and high-quality real-time transcoding technology, we provide the best technologies for real time, interactive, Human-Machine Teaming in drone operations. Eyeson is an open software technology for real-time video fusioning and switching with AI as a routing engine.”

Through this integration, drone operators can now collaborate in real time with command centers, analysts, and subject matter experts, accelerating decision-making in mission-critical scenarios. The system also supports the integration of third-party AI models at the edge, allowing automated detection, classification, and filtering of objects and anomalies within the video stream—further enhancing the speed and accuracy of threat assessment and response.
