FieldLine delivers a continuous overhead perspective and automated play-aware framing that static sideline and end zone cameras can’t provide. It’s designed to integrate with your existing broadcast workflows and complements coaching platforms like Hudl, it does not replace them.
Each FieldLine tier adds capability:
All current FieldLine contracts are Hawkline-operated. This ensures consistent execution and compliance with FAA and venue requirements.
(Self-operated options will be offered in the future but are not currently available.)

Hawkline's systems tackle safety in two ways. The first is the system has been engineered with numerous safety features, and redundancy. Secondly the procedures for operating the systems have been designed with safety as a primary focus. Additionally the engineering and operations plans have been designed specifically to meet all current FAA regulations for operation.
District contracts are designed for school systems that schedule multiple varsity football games on Friday nights. Contracts cover up to 10 games per season and can rotate the FieldLine system across district facilities. Pricing is tiered based on the FieldLine package selected
Our aerial platform’s ability to navigate freely across the entire field allows for a variety of strategies to enhance filming benefits. Operating similarly to Skycam used by professional and top college football programs, the platform can position itself along the sidelines or directly across the end zone to enhance replay capabilities. It can capture the entire field of play, or zoom in and follow the ball carrier. Although the system is tethered, it is not confined to a single viewpoint like existing solutions.
All-22 Mode
The platform is positioned at the rear of the offense, centrally located on the field, and maintains this position throughout the duration of the play. The platform resets after the ball is spotted before the next play. This setup ensures all 22 players on the field are kept in frame making it ideal for post-game analysis.
PlayViewTM
Leveraging advanced machine vision and automated flight pathing, the platform tracks the play as it unfolds, ensuring the ball carrier remains centered in the frame.

This feature is ideal for live broadcasts and highlight reels.
