Talk to our team
What is iDFR™ and what does it do?
Pre-positioned, permanently installed drone system. iDFR™ is a permanently installed indoor drone system that helps security teams inspect facilities, investigate alerts, and respond to incidents remotely. Live aerial video gives operators a better view of conditions before deciding whether and where to dispatch personnel.
How is iDFR™ different from other drones?
Specifically built for indoor security operation. Unlike drones that require manual setup and battery changes between missions, iDFR™ is installed as part of a facility’s infrastructure. Its charging platform keeps the aircraft ready for repeat missions without routine hands-on preparation.
How can iDFR™ be used?
Protection and Inspection. Applications include alarm investigation, incident response, routine facility inspections, interior security checks, and situational awareness during emergencies. It helps teams extend their reach and use personnel more effectively.
Can iDFR™ be operated from another location?
Yes, designed for remote operation. With suitable site connectivity, a trained operator can launch, pilot, and land the aircraft from a remote SOC, allowing security teams to support facilities without stationing a drone pilot at each site.
Who operates the drone?
Your security team, 100% of the time. Today, trained personnel remotely pilot iDFR™ using a handheld controller and live video interface. Operators may be located at the facility or at a centralized Security Operations Center (SOC).
Can iDFR™ operate without GPS?
Yes. It's built for GPS-denied spaces. iDFR™ is designed for indoor, GPS-denied environments. Onboard sensing and flight controls support stable flight, altitude hold, and 360° collision avoidance as trained operators navigate corridors, warehouses, and other indoor spaces.
How long can iDFR™ fly?
~15 min. The aircraft provides approximately 15 minutes of flight time per charge, depending on operating conditions. Between missions, it returns to its dedicated charging platform to recharge.
Does iDFR™ fly autonomously?
Human operated with AI-assist. Today, iDFR™ is remotely piloted with flight-assist features, including altitude hold and collision avoidance. Brecourt’s roadmap builds toward supervised autonomous routes, map-based navigation, and ultimately management of multiple systems through mission oversight and exception handling.
Can iDFR™ work with our existing Security Operations Center?
Yes. iDFR™ complements existing monitoring and response workflows by providing live aerial video and remote flight capability. Brecourt works with each customer to assess networking, video access, and any platform-specific integration requirements.
How is customer data handled?
Your data ecosystem. iDFR™ uses local edge computing to process flight data, video, and onboard analytics without relying on cloud processing for core operations. Live video is made available to authorized operators through the system’s network connection. Video storage, retention, and access requirements are established with each customer as part of deployment planning, supporting their existing security operations and data-management policies.
How difficult is it to learn to operate iDFR™?
6–8 hours per operator, done virtually. The system is designed for trained security personnel, not exclusively experienced drone pilots. Brecourt provides approximately 6–8 hours of initial instruction, individual practical flight training, and a site-specific familiarization and acceptance flight.
Is FAA Part 107 certification required?
No. Not for operations conducted entirely inside enclosed facilities outside the National Airspace System. Indoor iDFR™ missions do not require FAA Part 107 certification or airspace authorization, although Brecourt provides system-specific operator training.
Is iDFR™ NDAA compliant?
Yes. Hardware and software are built and assembled in the United States with NDAA-compliant, non-embargoed components.
