Motorola Solutions has partnered with BRINC and SkySafe to integrate drone-as-first-responder (DFR) and counter-drone (C-UAS) technologies into its emergency response software. This collaboration will allow 911 dispatchers to deploy drones for emergency calls, potentially reducing response times and improving situational awareness for first responders. The system will also enable public safety agencies to track and identify unauthorized drones, enhancing safety and security.

This integration of drone technology into public safety operations represents a significant step forward in leveraging technology to improve emergency services.
