Search and Rescue
Swiftly aid search and rescue missions by covering extensive and difficult-to-navigate landscapes, utilizing aerial thermal imaging to pinpoint the whereabouts of lost individuals.
Painpoints
Advantages
Rescue missions often occur on vast and challenging terrains, which can limit ground search capabilities.
Cover large areas more efficiently with drone-based search missions.
Lack of accurate coordinates and visual references can negatively impact response missions.
Provide accurate coordinates and visual references to ground teams for more efficient rescue missions.
Certain terrains and conditions pose challenges to easily identifying a missing person through visual ground searches.
Overcome terrain and visibility challenges with aerial searches that detect heat patterns.

Workflow
- Mission Execution:
- Fly manually over the last known location following a search pattern such as the spiral route.
- Draw points, lines, or polygons on a map on DJI FlightHub 2 to mirror the last known location, trails, or key areas of interest.
- Select a suitable infrared palette and gain mode for the conditions at hand. White Hot and Black Hot palettes are preferred.
- Switch between infrared and visual cameras. Use the Link Zoom feature to zoom in simultaneously with thermal and visual sensors.
- As the situation allows, generate a rapid 2D map on DJI FlightHub 2 to provide a better understanding of search area and routes.
- Once the subject is identified, mark the location with the drone flying over.
- Communicate with the rescuee and rescue teams using the speaker if applicable.
- Support team on the rescue mission providing lighting from the drone using the spotlight.
