Search and Rescue Operations with an Unmanned Helicopter

International Journal of Remote Sensing Applications, 2016
We tested the performance of both electro-optical (EO) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) video sensors on an unmanned helicopter in a simulated Search and Rescue (SAR) setting. Our objectives were to examine whether humans and other objects associated with (SAR) operations could be reliably observed in the video sensor imagery in direct light and shade ...

Defining the characteristics of physically demanding winch rescue in helicopter search and rescue operations

Applied Ergonomics, 2021
Helicopter emergency medical service search and rescue (HEMS SAR) paramedics perform physically demanding winch rescues. Rescue organisations require valid physical employment standards (PES) to ensure personnel can adequately perform duties. There are no studies describing validated PES for HEMS SAR.

Search and Rescue Operations

2012
At the 16th Plenary Session of the General Assembly held in Cairo from 21–26 April 2001, the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC) adopted Resolution S16-7 calling African States to participate in the AFCAC Search and Rescue (SAR) technical cooperation programme. The Commission, through this resolution, also instructed the AFCAC Bureau, inter alia,

A Methodology of Building Workflow for Search and Rescue Operation with UAV

2020 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference (GHTC), 2020
The development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is progressing rapidly. Many efforts, such as capturing images immediately after the disaster, grasping building damage, and calculating the amount of debris are proposed for disaster mitigation and disaster response.

A joint network for disaster recovery and search and rescue operations

Computer Networks, 2012
Disasters are exceptional events that are either man made, such as terrorist attacks, or natural, such as earthquakes, wildfires and floods. Disasters create emergency situations and cause physical and social disorder. In these emergency situations, food, water, shelter, protection and medical help are needed, and the effort needed to provide these ...

Review on MANET Based Communication for Search and Rescue Operations

Wireless Personal Communications, 2015
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are defined as a collection of wireless mobile nodes that are characterized as independent, dynamic, self-adaptive and infrastructure less. This mobility and dynamic in nature of MANET urge for new set of networking strategies to be implemented so as to provide efficient communication during natural disaster.

Determination of search areas for maritime search and rescue operations

OCEAN 75 Conference, 1975
A new technique for determining the search area for maritime search and rescue operations is presented. This technique, which is based on a statistical description of the uncertainties in determining the drift track of a life raft, offers significant improvement over current, deterministic techniques.
