The Drohnesstaffel 7 is a Militia squadron, stationed on the Militärflugplatz Emmen and is under the drone command 84 (Dro Kdo 84).

Drohnesstaffel 7 has as Coat of arms a round badge that shows the head of an owl against a dark blue background and the yellow inscription "Dro Staffel 7".

The tasks of the Dronesstaffel 7 are the real-time data acquisition by day and by night, the optical verification of information from other sources and the support of the artillery for the fire control.

In the city of Zurich, the use of drones was approved during the UEFA Euro 2008 for monitoring the traffic and security situation or such events like the Street Parade.

As a result of the small silhouette and low visibility for other pilots, the ADS-95 is accompanied by an aircraft (usually a Pilatus PC-6) in peacetime during the day if the ADS-95 is in civilian VFR airspace.
