What's another word for "Deploy" that conveys a similar meaning?

deploy: To move troops or equipment into position.

I'm trying to come up with a name for a service where drones will be used to inspect factories and power stations.

I wanted to call it DroneDeploy, but that name is already taken by another drone service.

Is there a similar word that would be suitable?

  • Maybe if we understood why deploy doesn’t work for you, we’d be able to come up with something. We also need to know the exact context in which you intend to use this word.

    It seems like deployment is just an incidental action necessary to accomplish your real objective- to inspect.

In military jargon, you might try the term "infil." It means "infiltrate." When you send in troops and/or equipment, you "infil." When you recall troops or equipment, you "exfil."

Another word you might consider is "dispatch."

  • @Scott - Oops, you're right. However, if Billy wants to strengthen his answer by citing wikipedia, it would not be difficult to retrace my steps.
