What if your next search and rescue didn’t rely on one big “hero drone,” but an entire caffeinated ant colony of BabyBots — each one mapping hazards, sniffing gas, and hunting for survivors in places GPS can’t touch?

In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, Fletch takes you inside the swarm: how dozens of tiny, affordable drones #SLAM together to cover more ground, deliver real-time hazard maps, and keep responders out of danger. From DARPA’s underground challenges to the policies you’ll need to fly them, this is a no-BS, boots-and-bots look at the future of rescue ops.

Whether you’re in public safety, emergency management, or just love seeing cutting-edge tech in action, this is the episode that will make you rethink how we save lives.
