SAR Analysis

Lost and Missing Person Behaviour (Intensive)

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.

Lost and Missing Person Behaviour (2-day course)

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.

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.

Search Simulation Workshop: HK2803 Case Study

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.”

Introduction to SAR Analysis Workshop

This course offers an introduction to analysis for Search and Rescue (SAR) planning. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how analysis and critical thinking can significantly enhance the search management process.

Intelligence Cycle in SAR

Master each step of the intelligence cycle—from collection and analysis to dissemination—to elevate your SAR decision-making and operational effectiveness.

Biases Workshop

Cognitive biases undermine good judgment and decision-making—not only in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations but in every aspect of life. While we are all susceptible to biases, it is possible to recognize them and mitigate their impact.

Structured Analysis for SAR

This course delivers specialized analytic techniques designed to overcome perceptual errors common in complex problems characterized by high uncertainty and contradictory information.

SAR Analysis Program (SAR Intelligence)

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.

Heli-Rescue
