As part of our ongoing dialogue with first responders, S&T identified the need for an unmanned aerial system, or drone, that could provide two-way communications with large groups of people without putting law enforcement personnel at risk. The result is the Bellbird Aerial Communications Platform, which was tested in an operational field assessment conducted above the fields of Starkville Mississippi earlier this summer.
