Axon’s revenue comes from: 1) Software & Services (Evidence.com, Axon 911/Prepared/Carbine, FUSUS, ALPR/vehicle intelligence, VR, cloud subscriptions) — AI directly contributes via the AI Era plan (live translation, policy chat), Prepared call automation, analytics. 2) Connected Devices: TASERs — AI does not directly drive revenue. 3) Personal Sensors: Body cameras (Axon Body 4, Workforce Mini) — AI contributes indirectly (workflows, evidence tagging). 4) Platform Solutions: Counter‑drone (Dedrone), fleet, drones/DFR — AI contributes in detection/real‑time ops. AI is growing (10%+ of US S&L bookings) but not majority yet.
Prepared is a low-friction AI capability that can be rapidly installed in any communication center, immediately giving call takers superpowers to speed through data collection, analysis, and sharing. It can autonomously handle up to half of noncritical calls, freeing the human operators for true emergencies.
