Search and Rescue Drones

Locate faster. Coordinate safer. Make every minute count.

Search & Public Safety

SAR field team with drone

Search and Rescue

Drones provide rapid aerial coverage of difficult terrain and transmit live video to command. This significantly reduces search time and directs teams to the precise location.

Urban surveillance quadcopter

Surveillance

For public safety, drones deliver real-time situational awareness over large areas—crucial during events and incidents. High-resolution feeds help authorities respond effectively.

Business Value

Wide-area aerial patrol view

Wide-Area Coverage

Cover more ground and remove low-altitude blind spots with grid routes and geofences.

Rapid dispatch

Emergency Response

From alert to takeoff in one minute; to scene in three. Low-altitude perspective accelerates decisions.

High-rise fire support

Responder Safety

Replace manual exposure for high-risk tasks while maintaining situational awareness.

Scenario Highlights

Thermal + Long-Range Zoom

Detect heat signatures at dawn/dusk and confirm identities with 20–56× hybrid zoom. Adjustable palettes and isotherms increase contrast in complex scenes.

Coverage: Fast grid/expanding-square search with geofences.

Coordination: OI sharing and live streaming to command posts.

Evidence: Time-stamped imagery + immutable logs for reports.

Thermal detection and zoom confirmation(1)
Quick deployment field kit

Rapid Deployment Kits

Pre-labeled batteries, route templates and secure streaming minimize time-to-detection. Pair with loudspeaker + spotlight for night guidance.

Pro tip: Create templates for forest, coastline and urban-block searches. Align battery rotation with template duration.

Surveying & Site Mapping Drones FAQ

What are the FAA regulations for using drones in surveying and mapping projects?

U.S. commercial drone operations must follow FAA Part 107 rules, including pilot certification, drone registration, maximum altitude (400 ft AGL), and maintaining visual line-of-sight. Waivers can expand operational permissions for beyond visual line of sight flights.

Do drone surveys require oversight by licensed land surveyors?

In many jurisdictions, deliverables used for boundary or property surveys must be signed by a licensed surveyor. For construction progress or volumetrics, a QA process with ground control and check points is typically sufficient.

How accurate are drone surveys compared to traditional methods?

With RTK/PPK and good survey practice (GCPs, checks, proper overlap), horizontal/vertical accuracies at 2–5 cm are common for mapping-grade outputs. Complex terrain, vegetation, and reflectivity can affect results.

What key outputs can drones provide to surveying professionals?

Orthomosaics (GeoTIFF), DSM/DTM, point clouds (LAS/LAZ), textured meshes (OBJ), and stockpile volumetric reports. For inspection, high-res imagery, thermal layers, and annotated defect lists are typical.

How do drones integrate effectively into existing CAD and GIS workflows?

Export to widely used formats (GeoTIFF, DXF/DWG, SHP/GeoPackage, LAS/LAZ) and use naming conventions, CRSs, and metadata standards your team already follows. Many teams automate ingestion with scripts or ETL tools.
