Overview
Patrol is a 1.1 kg folding quadcopter purpose-built for police, sheriff, and fire departments operating under FAA Part 107 and BVLOS waivers. It pairs a 4K visual camera with a radiometric thermal sensor and a 32× hybrid zoom in a backpack-portable form factor. All flight electronics — flight controller, ESCs, BMS, radios — are designed and assembled in the United States with NDAA Section 848-compliant components.
Mission Profile
- Patrol overwatch and tactical scene awareness
