Everything Blake Resnick said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
US domestic drone manufacturing capacity is underfunded by a factor of 100
“No, I think it's off by like a factor of a hundred. It's actually, it's actively terrifying actually. We have no drone industrial capacity. I think the DOD continues to under invest in small drones.”
Motorola Solutions holds a near-monopoly in body-worn police radios
“They have more or less a monopoly position in the body-worn radio market. So they have pre-existing commercial relationships with just about every police and fire department in the free world.”
China sanctioned BRINC twice and barred founder Blake Resnick from entry
“I've been personally sanctioned by China. I cannot enter China. Brink has now been sanctioned by China twice. So we're not allowed to buy any parts in China.”
Future military FPV drones will navigate autonomously and operate without RF links
“I think they'll be more automated. They'll have stabilization systems. You'll be able to select a target and the drone will do its own navigation to intercept that target. They won't rely necessarily on RF communication systems since the jamming environment is…”
BRINC raised $75M led by Index Ventures with Motorola backing
“What we just released or announced a couple of days ago is our latest funding round. So a new seventy-five million led by Index Ventures. But with significant backing from Motorola Solutions”
Motorola to integrate BRINC drones into police body-worn radios

BRINC drones are NDAA-compliant and use zero Chinese electronics or sensors
“Well, our drones are NDA compliant, meaning that we don't utilize any electronics from China whatsoever. No processors, no radios, no imaging sensors, like none of that stuff.”
BRINC invented a tactical drone that breaks glass to breach windows
“We invented the world's first drone glass breaker, so the drone can actually fly up to a window, shatter it out, make entry, then it has a lighter on board, a lidar on board, so as it's clearing rooms, it's drawing a floor plan of that structure, and then stre…”
Resnick embedded on 30 SWAT call-outs to develop BRINC's first drone
“When I was developing the first version of Lemur, I actually rode along with Vegas Metro SWAT for like six months. So I went on 20, 30 SWAT call outs and I watched them deploy the early versions of our drone”
