Having helped search and rescue teams on an incredible diversity of missions, our experience and skill-set is ready-made for your search mission.

With visible imagery capable of providing aerial imagery of large search areas quickly, and live streaming infrared offering extremely clear insights about missing subject locations at night - our team is an asset no matter the situation.
By advancing the quality of aerial imagery that search teams have access to, searchers are better able to look for clues while navigating challenging terrain.
