Most drones are designed for outdoor flight. They depend on GPS and continuous manual control to operate safely, assumptions that fail inside buildings. As a result, many commercial drones are simply not capable of flying reliably indoors, especially in large or complex facilities.
The Indoor Drone as First Responder (iDFR™) was built specifically for this environment.
At Brecourt Solutions, our team’s background includes decades of military experience in the SEAL Teams and Naval Special Warfare, operating unmanned systems around the world, outdoors, indoors, and underground.
Rather than relying on GPS, iDFR uses onboard sensing, computer vision, and what we call AI Assist, a semi-autonomous capability that supports the operator by stabilizing flight, maintaining situational awareness, and helping the drone navigate safely inside buildings. Critical processing happens directly on the drone, allowing it to function reliably in environments where traditional drones cannot.
AI Assist does not replace the human operator. Instead, it reduces workload and risk by handling the aspects of indoor flight that are most challenging, such as navigation in tight spaces, obstacle awareness, and maintaining stable flight without GPS. This approach combines human judgment with machine assistance, resulting in safer and more dependable operation inside occupied facilities.
This capability enables Indoor Drone as First Responder (iDFR™) to perform missions that other drones are not designed to handle, including:
- Responding quickly to security threats inside facilities
- Conducting indoor patrols
- Performing spot checks in sensitive or restricted areas
- Executing inspections in hard-to-reach indoor spaces
Because Brecourt’s drone can operate safely indoors, it can be pre-positioned within a facility and deployed immediately when needed, thereby providing rapid situational awareness and physical presence where and when it matters most.
Indoor, GPS-denied flight is not a niche feature. It’s a foundational requirement for any drone intended to operate inside real buildings. iDFR’s ability to do this reliably is one of the key attributes that sets it apart from anything else on the market.
If your organization is exploring how drones can support indoor security, inspections, or rapid response, we welcome the opportunity to discuss how Indoor Drone as First Responder’s (iDFR™) AI-assisted flight capabilities can fit into your operations.
