At the Interior Ministry’s pavilion at the sixth Hajj Conference and Exhibition, the General Directorate of Civil Defense showcased the Falcon unmanned aircraft, used for firefighting and rescue, particularly at elevated or hard-to-reach locations. The Saudi Press Agency said it can operate for up to 12 hours and carry about 40 kilograms; its listed systems include firefighting, rescue and safety equipment, a thermal camera and a live feed. The pavilion also featured search-and-rescue technologies and the Salama portal, which lets establishments issue, renew, amend or cancel safety licences online. SPA presented the displays as supporting Civil Defense’s efforts to develop field operations, improve response for pilgrims’ safety and advance digital services, safety and prevention.
