BRINC emerged from a critical need identified during the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting at Mandalay Bay resort, where first responders took over an hour to locate the shooter. This event inspired CEO Blake Resnick to develop technology that could save precious time during emergency responses.
After three years of extensive field research with first responders, BRINC developed two groundbreaking public safety products: the Lemur S drone and the BRINC Ball. These two-way communication devices are designed to de-escalate dangerous situations and assist people in need, having been successfully tested in various scenarios including collapsed buildings and hostage negotiations.
The company's engineering team, led by Director Colin Bell, utilizes advanced technologies including:
- Mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD)
- Printed circuit board (PCB) modeling tools
- Real-time physics modeling for autonomous drones
