11/5/2023 0 Comments Introducing amazon strike droneWhile I was speaking with Brett, Lemur customer Officer Bobby Lemon of the Fort Wayne Police Department came by the booth – and I asked him how the Lemur was working in their department. While manufactured in Las Vegas, the company also has a presence internationally and distribution in Europe. We’re committed to public safety, we’re committed to being a force multiplier in this time when they need the help of technology and robotic systems.”īRINC is well beyond development mode: there are a lot of customers and a lot of Lemurs out in the field. “All of these features come from SWAT operators – we ask our customers after every single training what else they’d like to see in the drone,” says Brett. “One of the things that we do very well is to listen to customers and act on their requests – in a 3 -4 month time frame we’re acting on what customers have asked for in the new Lemur S. Without a doubt, we could easily have conducted the interview that way – despite the distance, obstacles and surrounding interference, the Lemur provided a way for us to communicate clearly, and provided Brett with a way to see exactly what was going on wherever the drone went. Then Brett backed off several aisles away while I stood next to the Lemur to demonstrate the communications system. Next, Brett flipped it on its back to show off “turtle mode”, which allows the Lemur to turn itself over into flight position. One of the first things that Brett did was demonstrate how robust the Lemur is – by slamming it on to the concrete floor (while I had almost had a heart attack, thinking I was watching a $9,000 accident.) The drone simply bounced a bit. I’d heard about the Lemur before – but there’s nothing quite like seeing a drone up close to get really excited about it. “The data is remarkable about how much better the outcome is when you are able to establish two way communication with a suspect – you have a great opportunity for a safe resolution,” he says. That 2-way communication is critical, Brett explains. When the Lemur makes contact with a suspect, it can perch – on a bed, bureau, table, or wherever – for up to 10 hours, helping SWAT teams establish 2-way communication with the suspect. Once inside, the Lemur can explore (without GPS) room by room, providing both eyes and ears to the operators. During a SWAT mission, the Lemur, equipped with a specialized glass breaker, is able to break a window and enter the building. It’s an indoor tactical system meant to search structures and keep public safety, first responders, and suspects safe. The Lemur – and the Lemur S, soft-launched at AUVSI Xponential – is a drone decked out with features that make it ideal for the purpose.
