BRINC's new police drone uses Starlink, carries Narcan, chases vehicles at 60mph

BRINC’s new police drone sets a benchmark for public-safety UAVs by integrating Starlink for beyond-visual-line-of-sight operation and deploying Narcan autonomously. It chases vehicles at 60 mph and carries a 5-pound payload, with a flight time of 22 minutes—30% longer than the average police quadcopter. This model outperforms #2's Gateway-bound nuclear tug in real-world response: where NASA’s plan remains theoretical, BRINC’s drone is already field-tested with departments in six states. The Starlink link eliminates the 2-mile radio-range limit of typical drones, enabling pursuits across entire counties. Weighing under 4.5 pounds, it’s lighter than the runner-up commercial security drone, which needs heavier batteries for equivalent range.
