Awareness, Safety, Teamwork
Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG) provides mission-ready aerial and remote operations support for emergency management agencies, public safety departments, and critical infrastructure partners across the Midwest. We are built around disciplined deployment, not hobbyist flight — delivering structured, scalable drone operations that integrate with existing public-sector workflows. Unlike ad-hoc contractors or equipment resellers, IROG focuses on operational readiness, compliance, and long-term partnership. Our tiered model ensures agencies receive the right level of capability — from rapid situational awareness to dedicated, shift-aligned aerial capacity — without the burden of owning, staffing, or maintaining complex drone programs internally.
About Us
Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG) was founded to bring structure, discipline, and long-term sustainability to public-sector drone operations. As a veteran-owned company, we approach remote aerial support with the mindset of readiness and accountability — not novelty. Our focus is on building dependable, scalable programs that integrate with emergency management agencies, public safety departments, and infrastructure operators throughout the Midwest. Rather than simply deploying aircraft, IROG develops operational frameworks that prioritize safety, compliance, and continuity, ensuring agencies gain real capability without assuming the burden of building and maintaining complex drone programs on their own.
About the Founder
David Chrisman is the founder and owner of Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG). A former U.S. Army Infantryman, David built his career around discipline, mission focus, and accountability — principles that now define IROG’s operational philosophy. His background in structured decision-making and high-pressure environments shaped a commitment to readiness, risk management, and dependable execution.David holds multiple professional certifications and has spent years studying the intersection of public safety operations, regulatory compliance, and emerging aerial technologies. Rather than approaching drone operations as a technology trend, he views them as mission infrastructure — tools that must integrate seamlessly into existing agency workflows and operate with reliability under real-world conditions.Through IROG, David’s goal is to provide Midwest agencies with a structured, scalable alternative to fragmented or ad-hoc drone programs, ensuring long-term operational capability without unnecessary complexity.
Public Safety
Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG) provides structured aerial support designed specifically for public safety agencies operating in dynamic and time-critical environments. Our services enhance situational awareness during structure fires, water rescues, search and rescue missions, hazardous material incidents, severe weather response, and large-scale public events. Rather than functioning as a stand-alone flight contractor, IROG integrates into existing incident command systems, delivering real-time aerial intelligence that supports command staff, field supervisors, and mutual aid partners. Our operations are built around regulatory compliance, disciplined deployment protocols, and risk-managed flight planning to ensure safe integration into active scenes without disrupting ground operations.
Emergency & Disaster Response
Rapid, autonomous aerial operations supporting life safety and incident command.Imperium Remote Operations Group deploys unmanned aircraft systems to provide real-time situational awareness during emergencies and disasters. Our operations support emergency management agencies with fast-launch aerial intelligence without placing personnel in harm’s way.
FEMA Certifications: IS-100, IS-200
By providing scalable, tiered support options, IROG enables agencies to expand capability without assuming the financial burden, staffing challenges, or maintenance requirements associated with building and sustaining an internal drone unit. The result is reliable, mission-ready aerial infrastructure that strengthens response effectiveness while maintaining operational accountability.
Use cases include:
-Disaster damage assessment (storms, floods, tornadoes)-Search and rescue overwatch-Incident scene mapping and perimeter awareness-Thermal imaging support for missing persons and hotspots
Infrastructure
Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG) provides structured aerial monitoring and inspection support for critical infrastructure assets across the Midwest. Our services are designed to assist transportation departments, utilities, water authorities, and industrial operators in assessing bridges, rail corridors, transmission lines, substations, flood control systems, and other essential facilities. By deploying enterprise-grade aerial platforms, IROG captures high-resolution visual data and mapping imagery that supports condition assessments, damage documentation, post-storm evaluation, and preventative maintenance planning.
Infrastructure & Critical Monitoring
Persistent aerial monitoring for critical assets and high-risk locations.IROG provides scheduled and on-demand unmanned aerial monitoring for infrastructure owners and public agencies. Our systems deliver consistent, repeatable data for decision-makers without the cost and delay of manned aviation or ground inspections.
Rather than replacing internal engineering teams, our role is to enhance situational awareness and accelerate data collection while reducing the need for personnel to operate in hazardous or hard-to-access environments. Through disciplined flight planning, regulatory compliance, and repeatable documentation workflows, IROG enables agencies and infrastructure partners to improve inspection efficiency, preserve defensible records, and make informed maintenance decisions without expanding internal staffing or equipment burdens.
Use cases include:
-Critical infrastructure inspection-Facility condition and perimeter status monitoring-Pre- and post-event condition documentation-Remote site oversight and situational reporting
Media / Journalism
Imperium Remote Operations Group (IROG) provides structured aerial support for media organizations seeking safe, compliant, and high-quality visual coverage of news events, public gatherings, infrastructure developments, and evolving situations. Our operations are conducted within established FAA guidelines and coordinated to avoid interference with active emergency scenes or law enforcement activities. By deploying enterprise-grade aerial platforms, IROG enables broadcasters and digital media teams to capture elevated perspectives that enhance storytelling while maintaining operational discipline and safety. Rather than operating as independent press drones within crowded airspace, our model emphasizes controlled deployment, clear communication with incident command when applicable, and responsible data capture. This approach allows media partners to obtain compelling aerial visuals without assuming regulatory risk or compromising scene integrity, ensuring coverage that is both impactful and professionally executed.
