Drones to transform search and rescue

A Co Clare start-up company has teamed up with the world’s leading maker of unmanned aerial vehicles to create an application they say will revolutionise search and rescue operations.

DroneSAR has developed a search and rescue app that integrates a drone’s unique perspective on life-and-death searches into incident-management software, ensuring rescue crews can use drones effectively to save lives.

DroneSAR can stream live images and video from a regular or thermal imaging camera to a command centre as well as rescue teams on the ground.
