CASE STUDIES
SITUATION
SEARCH AND RESCUE
MISSION
IMPACT
Donegal Mountain Search and Rescue in Ireland have struggled to
find people in need within an acceptable time. Before using UAVs, it
took 120 minutes for a five-man team to find a casualty in a 1 km2
area.
A special S&R app was developed which enables the drone
operator to share images and GPS location of objects found with
the search team, emergency services and coast guard helicopter.
The app allows delivery of 1 kg of medical supplies/radio
equipment from drone to casualty and enables “beacon mode”.
Finding a casualty with a DJI Phantom 3 together with the S&R app
took 20 minutes which cut down the search time by 80 percent,
while adding additional benefits such as delivery of mission-critical
equipment.
A large blaze in a stone quarry caused a serious
risk as it was burning in close proximity to over
hundreds of pounds of explosives. The local Fire
Department Chief didn’t want to risk the lives of a
rescue team and was therefore hesitant to send a
crew.
SITUATION
BLAZE BURNING CLOSETO EXPLOSIVES
A volunteer firefighter used a DJI Phantom to get
an overall aerial assessment of the situation.
MISSION
The Fire Department could make a risk
assessment and could optimize the mission
response for the specific situation.
