Painpoints

  • Rescue missions often occur on vast and challenging terrains, which can limit ground search capabilities.
  • Lack of accurate coordinates and visual references can negatively impact response missions.
  • Certain terrains and conditions pose challenges to easily identifying a missing person through visual ground searches.

Advantages

  • Cover large areas more efficiently with drone-based search missions.
  • Provide accurate coordinates and visual references to ground teams for more efficient rescue missions.
  • Overcome terrain and visibility challenges with aerial searches that detect heat patterns.

Workflow

Mission Execution:

    1. – Fly manually over the last known location following a search pattern such as the wheel route.
    1. – Draw points, lines, or polygons on a map on DJI FlightHub 2 to mirror the last known location, trails, or key areas of interest.
    1. – Select a suitable infrared palette and gain mode for the conditions at hand. White Hot and Black Hot palettes are preferred.
    1. – Switch between infrared and visual cameras. Use the Link Zoom feature to zoom in simultaneously with thermal and visual sensors.
    1. – As the situation allows, generate a rapid 2D map on DJI FlightHub 2 to provide a better understanding of search area and routes.
    1. – Once the subject is identified, mark the location with the drone flying over.
    1. – Communicate with the rescuee and rescue teams using the speaker if applicable.
    – Support team on the rescue mission providing lighting from the drone using the spotlight.

    1. – Switch between infrared and visual cameras. Use the Link Zoom feature to zoom in simultaneously with thermal and visual sensors.
    1. – For night missions, operators can choose to disable the IR Cut Filter of the zoom camera for enhanced night visibility.
    1. – As the situation allows, generate a rapid 2D map on DJI FlightHub 2 to provide a better understanding of search area and routes.
    1. – Once the subject is identified. Get the coordinates of subject using the laser range finder and the Pin Point function or draw out routes and areas to avoid.
    1. – Share Pin Point coordinates to ground teams through DJI Pilots 2 QR code or DJI FlightHub 2.
    1. – Communicate with the rescuee and rescue teams using the speaker if applicable.
    – Support team on the rescue mission providing lighting from the drone using the spotlight.
