Law enforcement agencies will soon have a powerful new tool to respond swiftly to gun-related incidents with drone tech company Nightingale Intelligent Systems (ASX: NGL) to integrate gunshot detection systems into its drones through a partnership with defence tech company EAGL Technology.
This strategic alliance aims to equip Nightingale’s Blackbird autonomous drones with EAGL’s cutting-edge gunshot detection system, enhancing public safety and surveillance capabilities which will also improve public safety.
Nightingale’s Blackbird drones are known for their AI-driven navigation and real-time data analysis capabilities. The addition of the gunshot detection enhancement will integrate advanced acoustic sensors and artificial intelligence algorithms to identify and accurately locate the source of gunshots in real-time. When integrated into the Blackbird drones, these capabilities will enable rapid response and deployment during critical incidents, such as active shooter situations and criminal activities involving firearms.
“Nightingale is proud to partner with EAGL to deliver a groundbreaking solution that revolutionises security operations,” said Nightingale CEO, Jack Wu.
“By integrating our autonomous security drones with the EAGL Gunshot Detection System, we are providing organisations with a complete detect, respond, and verify capabilities, to improve the security and safety of critical infrastructures.”
The collaboration will open up new markets and opportunities for both companies. Nightingale’s Blackbird drones equipped with gunshot detection technology are likely to appeal to law enforcement agencies, private security firms, and governmental bodies, seeking advanced solutions to combat gun violence effectively.
Rising demand for drone technology has been fueled by combat sophisticated crime and terrorism. Government agencies require advanced surveillance capabilities to monitor vast areas, critical infrastructure, and border regions. Drones equipped with high-resolution cameras and AI-powered analytics offer real-time monitoring and data collection, bolstering national security efforts.
Drones have also proven invaluable in search and rescue situations, particularly in challenging terrains or disaster-stricken areas. Their ability to cover large areas quickly and access hard-to-reach locations can significantly improve response times.
By equipping Nightingale’s Blackbird drones with EAGL’s gunshot detection system, both companies are poised to advance the fight against gun violence while catering to the increasing demand for advanced drone and anti-drone technology among government agencies and security stakeholders worldwide.
The collaboration comes off the back of a busy period for Nightingale which added revenue-generating partnership with Arvensys Group, CSL Seqirus and Amazon Web Services.
Nightingale and EAGL are actively engaging with commercial and government entities to market and deploy this integrated security solution.
