Nightingale Security integrates with uAvionix’s AI and computer-vision enabled Casia G ground-based detect and alert system. When Casia G detects an aircraft that might pose a risk to Nightingale Security’s Blackbird drone operation, it will trigger an avoidance maneuver to ensure the airspace stays safe. In this way, during DFR ops, Casia G allows drones to safely fly in the airspace while eliminating the need for human visual observers.



Valerie Wiehl, Drone Deployment Engineer at Silicon Valley-based Nightingale Security, discussed her company’s DIB for DFR. Upon activation of a security alarm, the system initiates automatic dispatch of the drone (called Blackbird) to the alarmed area, facilitating live video streaming to the security team. Operators also have the ability to establish recurring, autonomous patrol missions with specific parameters or to fly the drone manually. For example, San Pablo PD apprehended a suspect wanted in connection with a shooting in Oakland using Nightingale’s DIB system. The drone pilot helped officers locate the suspect's hiding place and allowed them to make the arrest without escalation.
