The system

Three components working as one.

The Fealty drone, the perch it lives on, and the software that runs it. Each is purpose-built, and each is built to work together.

01

Fealty drone

The aircraft, built for site coverage.

A weatherproof, autonomous quadcopter built for persistent site coverage. Optical zoom and thermal payload, on-board AI, and obstacle avoidance baked in. NDAA-compliant components from end to end.

02

The perch

The home base that keeps it on duty.

A weatherproof shelter, charging dock, and sensor mast in one. The drone lives in it ready to launch, charges on contact when it lands, and launches on command in under 3 seconds. Sensors on the perch handle continuous optical and acoustic monitoring.

03

Mission control

Best-in-class AI software that runs the fleet.

Mission Control is the brain behind every Birdstop drone. On-board AI handles real-time detection, classification, and dispatch, while one operator runs multiple systems from a single console. Live video, patrol scheduling, and audit-grade logging in one place. SOC 2 on every byte, with API hooks into your existing stack (SCADA, CAD, VMS, access control).

What makes Fealty different

Built for 24/7 site coverage.

Always on

The Fealty sits ready in its perch around the clock. When an alert fires, it launches in under 3 seconds and streams live HD video back to your console before responders are out the door.

Weatherproof

IP54-rated against rain and dust. Operates in winds up to 25 mph and temperatures from -4°F to 113°F. Designed in Detroit, tested in Detroit weather, your site doesn't get a day off, and neither does the drone.

Autonomous

Pre-planned patrols, alarm-triggered dispatch, and self-recharging operations. Your operator authorizes from anywhere in the country. Once in flight, the drone handles navigation, obstacle avoidance, and return-to-perch on its own.

American-made

Assembled in Detroit from fully NDAA-compliant components.

Onboard

Configurable payloads for every mission.

Optical, thermal, and detection sensors paired with the airframe. Swap in what the site demands.

Standard payload

  1. EO + Thermal camera

    • 4K visible-light camera with 10x digital zoom paired with a 640 × 512 radiometric thermal imager on a stabilized gimbal. Day, night, and low-visibility coverage on every flight.

  2. Optical zoom

    • Long-range identification of license plates, signage, equipment serials, and personnel from a stand-off altitude. Lossless digital extension extends effective range further.

  3. Thermal radiometric

    • Calibrated thermal capture for hotspot detection on transformers, solar arrays, wind turbine bearings, building envelopes, and fire scenes.

  4. Acoustic detection

    • Always-on acoustic sensors on the Perch cue aircraft launch on gunshot, glass break, vehicle, or UAS signatures, before a human ever sees an alert.

Pipeline + tank monitoring

  1. Methane / gas sensing
    • TDLAS-class methane sensor option for pipeline, well-pad, and tank-farm flyovers. Surface leak indicators flagged on the operator console in real time.

Vegetation + structure

  1. LiDAR
    • Aerial LiDAR option for vegetation-management corridor scans, transmission-line clearance verification, and high-precision construction-progress capture.

Nighttime cue

  1. Spotlight
    • High-output LED illuminates a target for ground response, deters intrusion, and acts as a visible response presence on the perimeter.

Two-way comms

  1. PA speaker
    • Aerial public-address audio for site warnings, evacuation cues, and live operator communication with people on the ground.
