The Matrice 4 Thermal Police Public Safety Kit is a complete thermal drone deployment package built for law enforcement, SAR teams, fire departments, and emergency management agencies. The 640x512 thermal camera finds body heat through brush, smoke, fog, and total darkness. AI subject detection locks on and tracks. The laser rangefinder drops a precise GPS coordinate on the target so your ground team navigates directly to it — not a general direction.

Delivers in 5 to 7 business days. Net 30 for qualified agencies. Call (863) 224-6923 for same-day quotes and procurement documentation.

Thermal Drone for Police and SAR Operations

This is the thermal drone built for the search window that doesn't wait. The 640x512 uncooled VOx sensor reads heat signatures — not visible light — through brush, canopy, fog, and smoke. A motionless subject in tall grass is invisible to optical at night. To thermal, they're a bright heat source against cooler ground. UHR super-resolution mode sharpens differentiation at altitude so you can tell a person from an animal without descending. The 48MP telephoto confirms visually from 250 meters. The laser rangefinder drops a GPS pin — your ground team gets exact coordinates, not a grid square.

AL1 Spotlight + AS1 Speaker + Monitor

Thermal finds the subject. The AL1 Spotlight confirms them and guides the ground team in complete darkness — gimbal-linked, 100m range, always-on or strobe. The AS1 broadcast speaker runs at 114dB from the aircraft at 300m range — verbal commands, callouts for lost persons, audio coordination across a wide search area without landing. The portable field monitor puts the live thermal and optical feed in front of a commander or client in real time. All three payloads mount simultaneously. One aircraft, full command capability.
