BRINC, Nova link drones to thermal analysis software

BRINC, Nova link drones to thermal analysis software

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    BRINC, a Seattle-based public safety drone manufacturer, has partnered with Nova Software Company to connect BRINC's LiveOps platform with Nova's aerial intelligence software. The integration allows agencies using BRINC Responder drones to upload imagery directly to Nova for processing, generating mapping products and thermal analysis without additional hardware. BRINC's newly introduced Guardian platform, which carries two radiometric HD thermal cameras, is a key part of the offering.

  2. Why it matters

    Public safety agencies—more than 900 currently use BRINC products—operate in complex and dangerous environments where faster information translates to safer outcomes for both personnel and the public. The partnership combines drone hardware, operational software, mapping tools, and data analysis into a single workflow, enabling incident commanders to detect hotspots in near real time during structure fires, wildfires, search and rescue, and other emergency scenarios.

  3. What to watch

    The integration is available immediately for agencies already operating BRINC Responder systems. This end-to-end solution expands BRINC's ecosystem of aircraft, software, communications, and remote operations tools designed specifically for first responders.
