Nightingale Intelligent Systems, Inc. announced a partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to integrate the sensor data from its Artificially Intelligent Blackbird Security Drone with AWS systems to provide Enterprise and Public Sector clients with a highly advanced data analytics platform for intrusion detection, navigation, and life-safety use-cases. The Blackbird Security Drone is the first drone to use Amazon's cloud-based AI services to deliver real-time analytics and insights combined with optional payload sensors, including thermal imaging, lidar, and high-definition cameras, for advanced Blackbird detection and advanced navigation for life-safety capabilities. The Nightingale Blackbird Security Drone will be optimized by the integration with AWS, including the following services: Amazon Rekognition to detect and recognize objects, people, and activities in the images and videos collected by the drones, Amazon SageMaker to build, train, and deploy machine learning models to analyse the data and Amazon Kinesis to process the data in real-time.

Amazon EC2 will store all the data and analytics generated by the Nightingale Blackbird Security Drone and Amazon Wickr as an end-to-end encrypted collaboration solution for ad-hoc communication and coordination. These AWS services empower on-the-ground security teams to respond quickly and effectively by providing a fully integrated, secure platform accessible nearly anywhere. The combination of Amazon's sophisticated data processing and machine learning capabilities and Nightingale Security's advanced drone technology will provide Enterprise and Public Sector clients with a secure solution to support a breadth of use cases to enhance intrusion detection, navigation, and life safety.

For commercial enterprises, applications include autonomous surveillance of remote assets and enhanced perimeter control for extensive industrial facilities. The integration will also allow the Public Sector to deploy this solution in support of border patrol activities, critical search and rescue missions, and air surveillance and monitoring for critical infrastructure, ports, and other vital possible targets.
