AirData Integrates with BRINC to Bring Automated Flight Records to Public Safety Drone Programs
Public safety drone programs are scaling quickly, and with that growth comes a need for better visibility, documentation, and oversight. That is what makes AirData’s new integration with BRINC especially valuable for law enforcement, fire, and emergency response agencies.
BRINC's Role in Public Safety Drone Operations
BRINC developes drones specifically for public safety use cases, with systems designed for both tactical response and rapid deployment to emergency calls.
- The Lemur 2 is built for indoor operations, allowing teams to safely gain visibility inside structures during high-risk incidents.
- The Responder supports Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs, enabling agencies to autonomously deploy drones directly to 911 calls with real-time video, thermal imaging, and remote operation.
These systems are already in use across public safety agencies and are designed to improve response times, increase situational awareness, and reduce risk to personnel, while generating critical operational data with every flight.
BRINC and AirData Integration
That mission is a natural fit for AirData. AirData’s Public Safety Program is designed to help agencies keep flight documentation organized, maintain visibility across their fleet, and support workflows without adding complexity for pilots.
Now, BRINC systems can connect with AirData to bring essential flight data into one place, giving teams a clear and reliable record of their operations without adding extra steps for pilots.
Flights are automatically captured and organized, making it easier for agencies to review activity, support reporting, and maintain visibility across their program. Built to work with BRINC's proprietary systems, the integration captures a complete, searchable record of every mission — including equipment, maintenance, and pilot activity — directly from the platform, ensuring documentation happens seamlessly in the background.
Public safety agencies rely on a connected ecosystem of tools. Integrating with platforms like AirData ensures flight data is automatically captured and accessible, without adding friction to critical operations.

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Atlas of Surveillance, more than 1,500 law enforcement agencies across the U.S. now operate drone programs. In 2025, adoption accelerated sharply, with some jurisdictions reporting that drones resolve up to 20–25% of calls without requiring a ground unit response. As programs expand, agencies are placing greater emphasis on documentation, transparency, and operational visibility to support these efforts.
BRINC builds drones that perform in the most demanding environments. With more than 60 million flights on our platform, we have a clear view into how leading programs operate. Connecting that hardware into AirData gives agencies more than flight logs. It gives them a system of record that captures pilot activity, equipment health, and program-wide trends automatically.
