Birdstop operates a network of beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drones and remote sensing systems focused on power grids, telecom networks, and other national critical infrastructure. Its offerings include routine monitoring and inspection as well as on-demand mobilization for natural disasters and security incidents. Coverage is active in multiple states, including Alabama, California, and Texas, and its customers span public and private sector asset managers across more than 20 industries. From its mission control in California the company runs a distributed ‘‘constellation’’ of drones and has patented safety technology, including a proprietary low-altitude airspace deconfliction system to enable remote operations. The company has opened a new R&D facility in Alabama and begun scaling production of its systems, starting with an airspace intelligence beacon. The team is led by founder and CEO Keith Miao and includes Head of Software Jatin Kolekar, Software Engineer Robert Reynoso, and Principal R&D Engineer Timothy McPhail.
