#SARScience – Promising new basis for active immunization against Alzheimer’s disease
SAR training involves learning techniques when searching for missing dementia patients – we generally use the term wanders for missing persons. Patients lack the ability to use their natural georeferencing […]
Turning a mobile phone into a beacon with a UAV-based cellular search and rescue solution
Opportunities for Australian SAR agencies to dial into mobile phone technology innovation was showcased at AAUS ROTORTECH 2022 Conference in June 2022. Advantages of Psuedo Base Station solutions like Smith […]
Starlink is set to significantly improve SAR and EM communications
STARLINK BUSINESS – Communications application for SAR and EM on the horizon Since the use of PolSAR HF radios communications in the outdoors has had incremental changes over the years. […]
World Vision – Utilising technology in emergency response
While technology and innovation are not synonymous, the right technology can inspire and facilitate new and better ways to achieve our goal to protect children from the impact from disasters.
Xaver Sense Through the Wall System
Operators can deploy Camero’s Xaver family of scanners on solid walls to get a 3D outline of the objects behind it. The system uses an ultra-wideband radar to “see” through walls along with a “breath detection” mechanism to differentiate between static and moving objects.
SAR for SAR – Technology on the horizon – The use of Synthetic Aperture Radar for Search and Rescue
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are produced by an active system that sends a microwave signal from a sensor platform to the ground and detects backscattered waves that the ground reflects directly back to a receiver on the same platform, which can be borne aloft by either airplanes or satellites. When the source and receiver are on the same platform, the radar is said to be monostatic. If the source and receiver are on different platforms, the radar is said to be bistatic. Commercial SAR systems are monostatic and always collect images to the side of the flight path of the sensor platform, unlike most multispectral imaging systems, which commonly look straight down and are passive (consisting only of receivers of reflected sunlight and emitted thermal infrared radiation).
Youth Search and Rescue to get free satellite tech – key partnership with Wireless Nation
Under a new partnership, Wireless Nation will provide YSAR with satellite internet for communications, data sharing, and navigation across New Zealand.
