Kolibair

Mission

To give emergency services back the time that large-scale disasters take away - through persistent, reliable, workflow-integrated aerial intelligence when every second counts.

The challenge

Emergency response lasts hours. Today's emergency drones last minutes. Fire, flood and search-and-rescue incident commanders need continuous live visibility over hotspots, access routes, searched areas and possible victim locations - yet current drone options force an unwanted compromise. Commercial multirotors are quick to deploy but typically fly only 25-40 useful minutes, lose 10-15 minutes to every battery swap, demand constant operator attention, and depend on manual operator reporting back to command. Military UAVs and helicopters cover more ground but are too costly, complex and sparsely available for everyday crews. The result is broken aerial intelligence at exactly the moment lives depend on fast, informed decisions.

The solution

Kolibair is developing the KBR-27: a portable fixed-wing vertical-take-off-and-landing platform that gives emergency services roughly 3x the continuous aerial coverage of the multirotors they fly today. It launches vertically from almost any location, then cruises semi-autonomously under operator supervision for over two hours, streaming live thermal and optical video straight to operators and commanders. A modular payload bay supports specialist sensors, and Kolibair's software is built to feed mission data directly into the emergency coordination systems crews already use - replacing manual relay with one shared, live operational picture. Long endurance, rapid deployment, European user-controlled data, and a field-serviceable design turn a drone into persistent emergency intelligence.
