Overview
Your rapid-response advantage, providing instant visibility and real-time intelligence from above.
Flagship features
- First satellite-connected drone; triple-redundant communications (satellite, 5G/LTE, Mesh) ensure connectivity anywhere on Earth
- BVLOS-ready: integrated ADS-B receiver, anti-collision beacon, parachute, dual RTK GNSS (2 cm accuracy)
- Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) operations: 24/7 autonomous operations with robotic battery swapping and payload loading via Guardian Station
- Compares favorably against DJI M400/M350/M4TD, Skydio X10, Flock Safety Alpha in flight time, speed, camera specs
- Payload capacity 10 lbs with multiple mission-specific payloads (AED, flotation, radio, trauma kit, hazmat sensor, Narcan, EpiPen, wildfire ignition, lost hiker pack)
- SkyCradle open-source payload docking mechanism for custom payloads

- Additional Information
- - First satellite-connected drone; triple-redundant communications (satellite, 5G/LTE, Mesh) ensure connectivity anywhere on Earth. - BVLOS-ready: integrated ADS-B receiver, anti-collision beacon, parachute, dual RTK GNSS (2 cm accuracy). - Drone-as-First-Responder (DFR) operations: 24/7 autonomous operations with robotic battery swapping and payload loading via Guardian Station. - Integrates with existing public safety systems: Shotspotter gunshot detection, Motorola NG911, Live911, Tyler CAD, CentralSquare CAD, CommandCentral DEMS, Vigilant ALPR, Fusus RTCC, APX NEXT radio, AirData flight logs. - Compares favorably against DJI M400/M350/M4TD, Skydio X10, Flock Safety Alpha in flight time, speed, camera specs. - Payload capacity 10 lbs with multiple mission-specific payloads (AED, flotation, radio, trauma kit, hazmat sensor, Narcan, EpiPen, wildfire ignition, lost hiker pack). - SkyCradle open-source payload docking mechanism for custom payloads. - Automotive-grade radar obstacle avoidance works day/night in fog/rain/dust. - 130 dBA siren (3x louder than police car siren) with emergency lights and loudspeaker. - Customized agency markings available. - Financing/leasing: likely available through government procurement; 'contact for pricing' suggests enterprise pricing. - No pricing published online; based on complexity and comparison to DJI Matrice series likely $40-80K+ for full DFR system.
