BRINC Drones and Nova Software Company have announced a strategic partnership to deliver integrated aerial mapping and data analysis capabilities to public safety agencies.

The integration connects BRINC's LiveOps operational platform with Nova's aerial intelligence software, allowing agencies already deploying the BRINC Responder to set up mapping missions, capture aerial footage, and push data directly to Nova for processing without additional hardware. The output is a combined operational picture that includes mapping, hotspot detection, and real-time intelligence designed to improve situational awareness for incident commanders in the field.

"Fire departments, law enforcement agencies and emergency response teams are operating in increasingly complex and dangerous environments," said Blake Resnick, founder and CEO of BRINC. "This partnership with Nova gives our customers an immediate upgrade in how they see and respond to critical incidents."

The partnership is designed around BRINC's Guardian drone, which carries two radiometric HD thermal cameras purpose-built for public safety applications. Combined with Nova's processing software, Guardian enables real-time heatmap generation and hotspot identification intended to help teams prevent escalation and coordinate safer operations.

"Partnering with BRINC puts Nova's platform directly in the hands of agencies already in the field saving lives," said Robert Atwood, CEO of Nova Software Company. "BRINC's operational platform paired with Nova's aerial intelligence software means incident commanders have better information, faster, and that translates directly to safer outcomes."

Nova's platform includes live streaming, panoramic imagery, real-time collaboration, and advanced data analytics in addition to mapping. The company serves public safety agencies, emergency management teams, and enterprise customers across North America.
