AUTONOMOUS THREAT RESPONSE – ENGINEERED FOR DFR
The moment a 911 call or alarm is triggered, our system acts instantly. A drone is dispatched autonomously to the incident location, delivering live video directly to your response team. This rapid, precise response ensures potential threats are addressed with unmatched speed and vigilance.
SCHEDULED AUTONOMOUS PATROLS
Take control with precision-engineered patrol missions. Define exact days, times, routes, altitudes, hover durations, and camera angles for fully autonomous patrols. This level of customization ensures consistent, thorough monitoring, enhancing security across your facility.
MANUAL SURVEILLANCE MISSION
For critical events like chemical spills, fires, or environmental hazards, deploy drones manually for real-time monitoring. Gain immediate insights and maintain situational awareness, allowing your team to make informed decisions during high-stakes scenarios.
ROBOTIC AI INTRUSION DETECTION (RAID)
Our advanced RAID system transforms intrusion detection. Drones autonomously patrol key areas and alert your team only when human or vehicle intrusions are detected. This focused approach minimizes false alarms while maximizing the effectiveness of your security operations.

The Blackbird Block V — Built for Rapid Response & Situational Awareness
Engineered for Security
The Blackbird Block V is purpose-built for Robotic Aerial Security. With a rugged carbon-fiber and aluminum frame, weatherized construction, and endurance-tested components, it’s designed to perform in the toughest environments—day or night, rain or shine.
Always Mission-Ready
With rapid deployment capability, the Blackbird Block V is airborne in under 15 seconds. Whether responding to a 911 call, responding to an intrusion or monitoring critical infrastructure, it delivers instant situational awareness to security teams.
Extended Reach & Endurance
High-efficiency motors and advanced batteries give the Block V a flight endurance of 45–50 minutes and an operational radius of up to 5 miles. This range ensures expansive facilities, industrial sites, and remote assets remain under constant surveillance.
Advanced Vision Payload
Equipped with daylight/starlight 4K cameras, precision zoom optics (20x equivalent), and a radiometric thermal camera, Blackbird delivers crystal-clear imagery in all conditions. From license plate recognition at 500 feet to starlight vision in <10 lux, it provides the detail needed to detect and respond.
Autonomous Intelligence
Onboard AI runs real-time object recognition, anomaly detection, and tracking during missions. The system grows smarter with every flight, continuously improving patrol effectiveness.
Blackbird Communications Network
Featuring dual-channel connectivity—private RF and 5G cellular—the Block V ensures resilient communication. These redundant links back each other up, guaranteeing uninterrupted command, control, and video streaming during critical operations.
Wind & Weather Performance
Engineered to operate in rain, snow, and winds up to 40 mph sustained (45 mph gusts), the Block V flies where others cannot, delivering reliable coverage in adverse conditions.
Silent Sentinel Mode
With low acoustic and visual signatures, the Block V can patrol discreetly—ideal for sensitive sites such as government facilities, military bases, and corporate campuses where stealth matters.
Seamless Integration
Blackbird Block V integrates with Nightingale’s Mission Manager (M²) software and base stations, forming a fully autonomous system that patrols, responds, recharges, and redeploys without human intervention.
