Drones for
SAR Missions

What are the two biggest factors in a SAR mission?
01 Time

In most SAR missions, the missing person is trapped in a life-threatening situation — sometimes for several hours before a rescue team is able to arrive on scene. Every minute matters. Drones can be deployed immediately and cover ground faster than any ground-based team.

02 Terrain

SAR missions usually occur outside of urban environments. Challenging terrain — a snowy mountain, a dense rainforest — can prove impossible to navigate on foot. Drones are unaffected by these obstacles, traversing any landscape at altitude with full sensor coverage below.

How Can Drones Solve This?

Compared to ground-based vehicles, drones can traverse areas at a rapid pace and reach locations inaccessible by any other means. When equipped with onboard image processing, drones can automatically detect thermal or RGB signatures of humans and notify operators of their precise coordinates — saving critical time when it matters most.

  • Precise GPS Coordinates to Operators
  • Thermal Human Detection
  • Greater Situational Awareness
  • Access Impossible Terrain

The Challenge

One of the biggest challenges in combating maritime crime is finding and identifying ships in the vast expanses of open sea. Line of sight from sea level is limited, and it is expensive to sail ships continuously to monitor protected areas.

Even once a ship is spotted, getting close enough to identify it risks a potentially dangerous encounter for the crew involved.

How Can Drones Help?

The ability to launch and recover an aerial vehicle from a ship vastly increases the area of ocean that can be searched by a team. Equipped with high-resolution gimbaled cameras, drones can identify and geo-locate objects in the ocean, pass coordinates to authorities, then track the target until authorities can respond.

When you invest in a drone, you're investing in a long-term monitoring tool.
Identify & Geo-Locate Pinpoint vessels in the ocean and pass precise coordinates to authorities without direct confrontation.
High-Res Gimbaled Camera EO/IR payloads deliver sharp identification imagery from safe standoff distances.
Persistent Target Tracking Maintain eyes on a target vessel continuously until an authorized response team arrives on scene.
Ship-Launched Operations Launch and recover from a vessel at sea, multiplying the effective search area of any patrol ship.
