A nonprofit Aviation Program Manager operating the layer that public agencies trust to coordinate aircraft, drones, telemedics, and autonomous ground systems across a single response.
Akute operates the trust, intelligence, and orchestration layer for advanced public-safety mobility. The Operational Control Center and the 911 NEO software stack are how that layer reaches the field.
Live program operations. Mission authorization workflows, coordinated dispatch validation, and the real-time operational picture across every asset in the response.
Operator-authorized mission release — before any asset moves.
911 NEO is the dispatch console Akute builds — a software-defined operator surface where one OCC operator coordinates aircraft, drone networks, ground units, and telemedicine across a single mission.
Akute writes and maintains the software. New capabilities land in 911 NEO before they land anywhere else.
PAO program development. Operations standards. Safety management. Risk frameworks that let a public agency adopt advanced mobility without inheriting a startup's risk profile.
This is the slow, unglamorous work — the part counties evaluate before they evaluate the aircraft.
Aircraft, drones, telemedics, and autonomous ground systems coordinated into a single response, under a single program, with one operational picture.
Piloted advanced aircraft operating under PAO authority for time-critical response.
Networks of Drone First Responder stations coordinated through one dispatch console — eyes on scene before any ground unit arrives, across stations, agencies, and jurisdictions.
Remote medical command and live clinical guidance — bringing the physician to the patient in the first minutes.
Autonomous ground ambulances and AGVs as part of the same coordinated response, under the same operational control.
Akute helps a public agency define the standards, structure the operations, coordinate the assets, manage the risk, and scale responsibly. The point is to make advanced mobility part of how the agency operates day to day.
Concept of operations, operating manuals, training and proficiency standards, safety management — written so they hold up under regulatory scrutiny and operational reality.
PAO program development, operational control architecture, dispatch integration, and the OCC support that lets an agency run advanced operations without standing up a parallel command structure.
Aircraft, drones, telemedics, and autonomous ground systems coordinated through one program, with one operational picture and one chain of authorization.
Safety management systems, risk frameworks, and the operational discipline that lets an agency say yes to advanced mobility without inheriting startup-grade risk.
What works in one county is built to travel. The operating model, standards, and software are designed for adoption from the start, with portability as a first-order requirement.
Akute's vision points at future PAO advanced aircraft in all forms — electric aircraft, simplified-control rotorcraft, fly-by-wire helicopters, autonomous platforms, and retrofitted military-surplus airframes — chosen so a county can train operators from its existing public-safety workforce instead of competing for a small, scarce class of conventionally-trained pilots.
The aircraft, the training pathway, and the legal framework — all chosen with that operator in mind. Accessible aviation, in operator terms.
Akute Networks is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Malibu, California — with team and operational footprint across DC, WA, OR, and NC. We work as an Aviation Program Manager — sometimes framed as PAO-as-a-Service.
The legal Public Aircraft Operator authority sits with the public agency we serve. Akute operates the layer that lets that agency adopt advanced mobility safely, lawfully, and at scale. The nonprofit structure aligns Akute with the public mission of the agencies we work for.
The Hyde County Advanced Aviation Academy for Public Safety is the live county program. PAO declared. First registered aircraft in service. Four-partner operating model running today — built so other counties can adopt.
Hyde County is the proving ground. The model is built to travel.

If you're a public-safety leader, county administrator, regional EMS director, or aviation/aerospace partner evaluating advanced mobility for public-safety agencies — we'd like to talk.
One conversation, one operator-to-operator read on what this would look like where you are.
