Thermal visibility for organized search efforts.

Thermal drone imaging can add heat-pattern information to an organized search when conditions support it. Range-finding and search-light capability can add useful distance and visibility information, and operations are not limited to daylight when FAA, airspace, weather, and safety requirements are satisfied.

01

Define the area

Share the location, search boundary, access points, and the visual information the team needs.

02

Survey from above

Capture useful overhead and oblique views while respecting airspace, people, property, and operating limits.

03

Return clear files

Provide organized imagery and notes that can be reviewed by the coordinating team.

Useful aerial support when every viewpoint matters.

Coordinate

Start with the search plan

We work from the information provided by the coordinating person or organization and confirm whether the flight is feasible.

Observe

Expand the viewpoint

Aerial imagery can help review open fields, wooded edges, shorelines, lots, and other accessible areas.

Document

Keep the record organized

Deliver clear files for the team?s own review and coordination.

Ask about aerial search support.

Tell us the location, the search area, who is coordinating the effort, and what type of visual support is needed. Emergency calls should go to 911 or the appropriate local authority.
