SEARCH AND RESCUE

Search-and-rescue (SAR) missions demand several special capabilities to succeed in fighting against multiple strong forces, such as injuries, hazards and time.

Nature is beautiful and dangerous at the same time. Once unleashed natural forces can destroy grand landscapes and cities within minutes. In the aftermath of natural disasters, a great problem is that decision makers lack information about the dimension and extent of the damage on which they can base their decisions birdpilot UAVs close the information gap between the unknown and the known. Panic and chaos make the detailed investigation impossible. Personnel risks or difficulties to reach locations block gathering detailed information.

Time is an important factor for reducing emotional distress and saving resources. Imagine the time needed to check house by house for missing people in post-earthquake or high tide situations. Using infra-red cameras on the birdpilot UAV for locating missing people by generating a infra-red map, which is a powerful tool for the aide on ground. The birdpilot UAVs can be used right after arriving at the scene deployed in no time anywhere, even at night when other means fail. On the other side applying helicopters is highly expensive and mostly restricted to weather conditions like fog.

In the case of severe car accidents, the area of the event is often difficult to pinpoint on highways. The number of injured people challenging hazards such as leaking gas, blazing fire are not exactly known. Involved people often cannot report themselves objectively because of shock, traumata or injuries. Panic and chaos need to be avoided and time is a crucial factor. Getting an overview and detecting lost people who came under cars or ran off the highway leaving the crash site is now possible within minutes, by using infrared cameras spotting the danger zone from above. Sensors attached to the birdpilot UAVs can be used for rapid hazard analysis in the case of car accidents including trucks leaking gas or other dangerous goods. birdpilot UAVs enables emergency aid to analyse emissions, acids and hidden fireplaces before dangerous situations run out of control.

Time is equal to resources, maximise your given resources by using time affected easily to use tools. Getting an overview of a given situation, fast and easy make decisions more precise. Combining the latest UAV technology with one of the best sensors on the market available give you actually the best tool in your hands. Focusing on an easy workflow with the highest possible quality and flexibility at once will be a remarkable change on the possibilities given. A modular system which can be fitted in no time with an SAR Mapping Unit and in the next moment with a high-resolution Zoom Camera or Low-Light Camera all combined in a single high efficient birdpilot Multicopter.
