Aerodome was a Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) company founded in 2023 by former California police officer Rahul Sidhu (CEO) and Kenaniah Cerny (Chief Architect). It built a fully integrated, automated, and remotely operated software platform that let public-safety agencies dispatch autonomous drones directly from 911 calls, pairing DJI drone hardware, robotic battery-swap docking nests, and radar with Aerodome DFR software featuring augmented-reality street overlays, automated flight operations, computer-aided-dispatch integration, and live airspace awareness. The company reported average 86-second response times to 911 calls. Backed by a16z, CRV, and 2048 Ventures across a seed (Oct 2023) and $21.5M Series A (May 2024), Aerodome was acquired by Flock Safety in October 2024 for over $300 million; its technology and software now ship as the Flock Safety "Flock DFR" product line, and the aerodome.com domain redirects to that product page.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aerodome: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
