OUR TEAM

Our team knows how to work in dangerous environments and provide assistance in critical situations. Our enhanced data produces more favorable outcomes every time.

EXTREME DRONE PILOTS

Our drone team is led by the #2 drone racer in the world, Lucas Dearborn. He has been working alongside fellow drone pilot Alec Lunsford to engineer high-speed, waterproof drones adapted for surviving extreme storm conditions. Once in the storm the sensors attached to the drones will be able to monitor wind-speed, temperature, and even the path the storm is headed, while providing a birds-eye view.
