""If you had Guardian playing a siren tone that was tuned to match the frequency of the speaker and a police car playing as the siren tone next to it, Guardian would be three times louder.""
""This is a huge step in DFR innovation and possibility," emailed Jill Green, a police spokesperson."
""Even if these claims are true (which I doubt at the moment), the speed/battery life is an incremental improvement over other comparable drone platforms.""
BRINC, based in Seattle, provides drones used by over 900 U.S. cities as part of the drone as first responder system. Cities typically spend hundreds of thousands to millions on these drones. Newport Beach, California, recently signed a $2.17 million contract for seven drones. The Redmond Police Department noted the new model as a significant innovation. However, some analysts express skepticism about the actual improvements, suggesting they may not significantly influence police adoption of drone technology.
