We help families find their missing loved ones
We help organisations be more successful in Search & Rescue
Too many Search & Rescue projects do not deliver satisfying results, either because the intelligence is falling short or the technology is not suitable for the search. We partner with local organisations, providing the thorough analysis that leads to better decision making and focus and applying the smart technology that is needed to effectively locate and retrieve the search object.
Search and Rescue Intelligence
To conduct a successful Search & Rescue project, you cannot leave anything to chance. In fact, success is the result of getting everything right. Our projects are based on these three pillars:
Thorough
Analysis
We gather all available data from multiple sources, and translate this into actionable insights.
With advanced analysis tools, we are able to effectively assess different scenarios, so we can narrow down the search area and identify the best course of action.
Smart
Technology
Leaving no stone unturned also means that we don’t allow limitations of technology to impede our search efforts.
Quite the opposite is true; for every search, we apply state-of-the-art equipment, that will elevate our chances of success.
Decisive
Action
Guided by the outcomes of our
analysis, we can make informed decisions when we organise the actual search action.
Depending on location, we partner with the right organisations, select the most suitable equipment and
form a team of committed experts and volunteers that get the job done.
