The BRINC Guardian response drone delivers 24/7 operations, unmatched imaging, Starlink connectivity, and more to help public safety agencies respond to 911 calls and save lives. When Guardian is paired with Guardian Station, its robotic charging nest, the system automatically swaps batteries and redeploys to a new mission. That’s a massive improvement over current Drone as First Responder (DFR) aircraft that must charge for at least 25 minutes between flights. Guardian also adapts just as fast, automatically loading the right payload (defibrillators, flotation devices, Narcan, and more) depending on the type of emergency. Together, Guardian and Guardian Station deliver — for the first time ever — true 24/7 drone readiness without human intervention.
Engineered to fly farther, faster, and longer in mission-critical environments, Guardian can respond to calls up to eight miles away, dwarfing current systems that are limited in range to three miles due to speed and connectivity challenges. Guardian also offers 62 minutes of flight time, IP55 weather resistance, and an integrated Starlink satellite panel that allows the drone to operate virtually anywhere on earth, maintaining a reliable data link even when traditional cellular or terrestrial infrastructure is unavailable.
Guardian sets a new bar for imaging, introducing an integrated camera with 4K video and 640x total zoom that provides a clear view from over a thousand feet away. Just as impressively, groundbreaking Dual HD thermal zoom cameras, for the first time on a drone of its size, allow Guardian to see clearly what other drones can’t, while an integrated 1,000-lumen SkyBeam spotlight and built-in laser rangefinder (not to mention a speaker and siren that’s 3x louder than a police car) enhance the coordination of everyone on the ground. These advanced imaging capabilities provide crystal-clear visuals day or night, ensuring responders have the information they need when every second matters.
Guardian is designed to integrate directly into existing public safety workflows and technology stacks, enabling agencies to deploy advanced aerial intelligence seamlessly.
