BRINC, founded in 2017 in Seattle, Washington, develops and manufactures drones and connected systems purpose-built for public safety agencies in the United States. Its vertically integrated supply chain ensures all products are manufactured domestically, a point of distinction in the defence-adjacent technology sector. The company's origin is rooted in a direct response to a mass shooting, with its founder leaving Northwestern University to pursue the mission of using technology to de-escalate situations and save lives.
The company's product ecosystem addresses distinct operational environments for first responders. The Lemur 2 is designed for indoor tactical use, while the Responder serves outdoor scenarios. The Guardian is the world's first satellite-connected 911 response drone. Central to its offering is the Drone as First Responder (DFR) program, which integrates these platforms to respond to emergency calls, delivering critical situational awareness to responding officers in under 70 seconds.
BRINC's technical work spans drone technology, tactical robotics, and satellite connectivity to build real-time situational awareness systems. This specialized focus has led to its adoption by over 900 public safety agencies across all 50 US states, establishing it as the leading developer in this specific national security and public safety niche.
