FAQ

Common questions

Are your police drones NDAA / Blue UAS compliant?

Yes. We stock Section 848 NDAA-compliant aircraft including Parrot ANAFI UKR/USA, Teal 2, and Inspired Flight IF800 for tactical units requiring compliant hardware. DJI Matrice 400 / 4T / 4D is offered for agencies without that restriction.

Do you support Boston Dynamics Spot for police operations?

Yes — we're an authorized Canadian dealer for Boston Dynamics Spot including the Spot Arm. Common policing use cases: barricade reconnaissance, hostage situations, and active-threat building searches.

Which software do Canadian agencies use to run a drone program?

DroneSense is the standard for Canadian public safety — built in Ottawa, hardware-agnostic, and designed for first-responder workflows. DJI FlightHub 2 is supported for DJI-only fleets.

Do you handle Transport Canada certification and SFOC?

Yes. Every program includes RPAS Advanced Operations training, BVLOS pathway support, site survey, and SFOC application assistance.

What's the typical investment for a starter police drone kit?

A tactical-grade NDAA aircraft with thermal, training, and Transport Canada support typically lands between CAD $25–60K. Multi-aircraft and DFR programs scale from there — request a scoped quote.
