Undo Limitations.
Redo Possibilities.

CTRL+Y engineers purpose-driven AI and operational software for emergency response, search and rescue, and public safety — tools that perform when conditions are most critical.

What We Build

Built for Operations.
Not Demos.

Designed by people who've been in the field, for teams who can't afford failure.

01

AI-Assisted Search & Rescue

Detection models built for the hard cases — dense vegetation, rubble, low light, water. Not repurposed from consumer AI.

Computer Vision ML Detection
02

Drone & Telemetry Integration

Live drone feeds and field sensor data pulled into a single picture — from the air to the command post, in real time.

UAV Systems Live Telemetry
03

Operational Intelligence

Tools that give incident commanders a clear picture fast. Not more data to dig through.

Data Fusion Command Tools
04

Agency Workflow Software

Software that fits how agencies actually work. Not the other way around.

Mission

The People Who Run Toward Crisis Deserve Software Built With the Same Conviction.

Emergency response, search and rescue, and public safety work demands tools that are reliable, intelligent, and designed for reality — not demos. The margin for error is zero.

We build software that earns trust in the field. That means integrating modern AI and machine learning with the operational knowledge of the people who actually use it — every hour, every mission, every condition.

Technology that matters isn't built for ideal conditions.
It's built for the moments when conditions have already failed.

What We're Building

Focused tools for the work that counts.

01

AI Person Detection

Models trained for SAR — not repurposed from consumer AI. Built for rubble, dense canopy, low light, and open water.

02

Multi-Drone Coordination

Coordinate multiple UAVs across a search area. Automated coverage patterns, manual override, and live feed aggregation — all in one place.

03

Search Sector Planning

Smarter search grids. Terrain-aware sectors, probability weighting, and resource allocation so every team covers ground with purpose.

04

Live Telemetry Dashboards

GPS tracks, team status, sensor feeds, and comms in one screen. Updated in real time. Works offline when connectivity drops.

05

Agency Workflow Tools

Replaces clipboards and disconnected spreadsheets. Designed around how agencies actually plan, brief, and document — not around assumptions.

06

Field Communications

When towers are down and radios are spotty, teams still need to talk. Built for the worst conditions, not the best.

BISHOP // Field Intelligence System

One System. Detection, Telemetry, Coordination.

Built for SAR. Deployed in the field. BISHOP puts aerial detection, live telemetry, and team coordination in a single hardened platform — no internet required.

  • Live aerial detection, on-device
  • TAK integration for field teams
  • Offline-capable, edge-deployed
  • Drone, ground, and command — unified
Technology

How We Think About Building

Intelligence that works in practice — not just in controlled conditions.

01

Machine Learning at the Edge

Our models are engineered for edge deployment — running inference directly on drones, field devices, and embedded systems without requiring constant connectivity. When the network fails, the intelligence keeps working.

Edge AI On-Device Inference Model Compression
02

Human-Centered AI Design

AI should amplify human judgment, not replace it. We design systems that surface intelligence to decision-makers — giving responders better information faster, while keeping humans in command of critical choices.

Human-in-the-Loop Explainable AI Decision Support
03

Field-Informed Engineering

We build with practitioners, not just for them. Every interface, workflow, and system is stress-tested against real operational constraints — cold fingers, degraded comms, time pressure, and fatigue.

Field Research Operational Testing Practitioner Co-Design
04

Systems Integration

Our software is built to connect — with TAK, GIS platforms, existing agency databases, communication systems, and hardware ecosystems. We extend what agencies already have rather than replacing it.
