Build a rock-solid SAR foundation by learning core navigation, search methods, rope-system basics, radio protocols, and safety practices for effective team operations.
Equip yourself with advanced SAR techniques, from complex aerial and ground searches to precise hoisting operations, enabling efficient response in different type of operations and high-risk rescues.
Immerse yourself in the HK-2803 jungle-survival case to apply real-world SAR analysis, terrain assessment, and resource planning in a dynamic, hands-on simulation.”
Emergency Locator Beacons: Practical Signals Analysis for SAR
Master the interpretation of electronic locator beacon signals (PLBs, EPIRBs, ELTs) to improve resource allocation, refine search strategies, and reduce response times during critical SAR operations.
Lead with clarity in the chaos of SAR operations by combining structured decision-making, search theory, and real-time information to plan smarter, search faster, and save lives.
Master each step of the intelligence cycle—from collection and analysis to dissemination—to elevate your SAR decision-making and operational effectiveness.
Learn proven analytic tools to overcome perceptual errors and conflicting information, enabling you to reach clear, evidence-based conclusions in high-uncertainty SAR missions.
Dive into advanced SAR analysis techniques, applying structured reasoning, cognitive bias mitigation, and decision-making strategies to improve the precision of search plans and operational outcomes.
Discover how to use critical thinking and real-world case analysis to sharpen your search planning, reduce bias, and optimize resource allocation for more efficient SAR responses.
Unlock the science of where and how people go missing by applying behavioral models and statistical tables. Managers will learn to focus your search efforts and brief your team with pinpoint accuracy. Searchers will understand better their subject and know where to look at.
Adopt a systematic K9 search methodology that enhances range control, motivation, and structure—boosting both handler-dog communication and effectiveness.
