Inventor(s) include Brahma Reddy Katam.

The application for the patent was published on April 10, under issue no. 15/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent, artificial intelligence (AI) and data-driven drone-based system for natural calamity management and emergency response. The system integrates unmanned aerial vehicles equipped with customizable sensor arrays, real-time data engineering pipelines, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) analytics, natural language processing (NLP) interfaces, and automated support ticketing mechanisms to provide a unified disaster management framework. In operation, drones capture multimodal environmental and survivor-related data, including thermal, LiDAR, hydrological, and atmospheric information. This data is processed through AI/ML modules to detect hazards, identify anomalies, and forecast disaster progression. By combining UAV technology, AI/ML analytics, NLP-driven human interaction, and automated task allocation, the invention provides faster response times, improved situational awareness, proactive hazard mitigation, and enhanced coordination, thereby advancing the effectiveness of disaster management operations."
