In search and Rescue operations, every second counts. Whether at land or sea, the ability to deploy search capability can mean the difference between life and death.
UAVs are becoming an increasingly useful tool to search for missing persons in the aftermath of an accident or disaster.
Satellite connectivity, UAVs can extend flight range and relay live video or infrared sensor data to operations bases, as well as increase operational capability to search for missing people.
Robot Aviation, based in Norway, has developed numerous UAVs for long-range aerial surveillance missions.
In the UAV Pop-up Lab, it will work with local emergency response agencies to demonstrate the value of satellite enablement when using its UAVs in human search and rescue operations.
