Enhancing Emergency Response and Public Safety

The Pathfinder-X FW-eVTOL by Starling is a groundbreaking drone system designed to support first responders, police, and Drone as First Responder (DFR) programs. Its unmatched speed, endurance, and autonomous capabilities make it an essential tool for saving lives and enhancing public safety.

Completely Autonomous and Automatic

In a typical Drone as First Responders (DFR) mission a ‘Call to Action’ is generated from a ground alarm system or from a 911 call. The Pathfinder-X with its ground station, the Starling Hub, creates the optimal solution by providing unparalleled performance (top speed of 160 km/hr [100mph], 3+ hours of flight time, ability to transition to hover in any part of the mission). After landing, the Pathfinder-X battery is quickly replaced and the system is ready for more action.

Empowering Emergency Response and Law Enforcement

Rapid Deployment for Critical Situations

  • Vertical Takeoff and Landing: Operates without the need for a runway, enabling deployment in confined urban areas or remote locations.

  • 15 Seconds to Air: Immediate response to emergencies from remote commands or triggers.

  • Autonomous Battery Replacement: Quick turnaround with the Starling Hub, swapping batteries in less than 20 seconds for uninterrupted operations.

  • 3+ Hours of Flight Time: Provides sustained coverage of large areas, reducing the need for multiple deployments.

  • 155 km (96.3 miles) One-Way Range: Monitors extensive regions for search-and-rescue missions or patrol operations.

  • Hovering Capability: Delivers stationary observation for focused monitoring of critical zones.

  • EO/IR Cameras: Identifies and tracks individuals, vehicles, fires, and other hazards day and night.

  • Real-Time Video Analytics: Provides actionable intelligence directly to ground teams.

Drone as a First Responder

Pathfinder improves response times by: Arriving on scene before ground units, providing critical intelligence to inform responders and reducing risks to personnel with real-time data and video feeds.

Interoperable and Modular

The Pathfinder’s open architecture design ensures compatibility with various command-and-control systems, seamlessly integrating into existing DFR workflows.

Applications for First Responders and Police

Search and Rescue (SAR)

The Pathfinder excels in SAR missions, offering extended flight times and high-speed response to locate missing individuals in remote or hazardous areas.

Emergency Management

With its advanced sensors and live data streaming, the Pathfinder supports disaster response efforts by:

  • Monitoring wildfires.
  • Assessing flood zones.
  • Delivering situational awareness to incident command centers.
