How was it done before drones?
Prior to drone integration, the team grappled with challenges like limited situational awareness and heightened risks during operations. Searches were prolonged, often spanning several hours or days.

What are the benefits of drones?
Enhanced Speed
Drones can rapidly cover vast areas, reducing response times and allowing for quicker identification of individuals.
Advanced Imagery
Drones equipped with thermal cameras can detect heat signatures, vital for locating lost or injured individuals, especially in low-visibility conditions.
Improved Safety
Drones eliminate the need to put human rescuers in potentially hazardous environments, reducing the risk of injury or complications during operations.
Resource Efficiency
Drones can operate with minimal manpower and resources, leading to cost-effective and efficient search and rescue operations compared to traditional methods.
