Today’s show is all about software options available to pilots working in SAR missions and how these applications can greatly aid a pilot in executing a comprehensive SAR mission.
Our caller for today, Colin from Canada, performs a range of SAR missions and would like to know the best application to be utilized that can help him in using a variety of drones to perform SAR missions with ease.
Search and Rescue Missions (SAR) have today progressed as a life saving tool to quickly assess and rescue people. In our response to Colin’s question we start with discussing how thermal and digital imagery are now being combined to increase the success rates in SAR missions.
Our first software pick is the Pix4D React that can help and assist a drone pilot in ensuring they have covered the entire search area and that no search area is missed.
Our next choice of application is the ‘Lost Person Behavior’ app that can assist drone pilots in drawing a psychological map of the person they are trying to rescue and utilize a range of data to provide accurate location of individuals based on their behaviorial and other personal characteristics.
We also delve into other softwares like ‘Locate’ and how pilots need to use multiple applications in sequence to ensure a successful SAR mission and not rely only on one software or having a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to flying missions and how Drone U classes and in-person events focusing on SAR can help pilots hone these skills.
Whether you are a seasoned professional in conducting SAR missions or are getting started in the world of SAR and mapping, this is a show you dont want to miss !
