Drones are a phenomenal tool for first responders – saving lives and guiding critical decision-making.
First responders, fire fighters, search and rescue teams, and members of law enforcement can mobilize in a matter of minutes. The UAS or UAV integrated with thermal imaging provides the ability to see through smoke, dust, light fog, and foliage. This technology allows the user to find persons even in total darkness – see much farther than with other low-light night vision goggles and cameras.
Key uses:
- Search and Rescue – find missing persons much faster than with traditional methods
- Law Enforcement – aid police in search for suspects
- Fire Fighting – see through smoke to assist in complex firefighting scenes and look for hot spots to prevent flareups
Using UAS is a force multiplier! Watch this actual footage to see UAS assisting with search and rescue, missing persons, manhunts, indoor tactics, support of K-9 efforts, and thermal imaging support for fire fighters.
