›SARA Project Final Presentation

The original necessity for SARA product comes from issues related to Search and Rescue (SAR) operations encountered by personnel of Coast Guard during their save and rescue missions, which are concentrated in detecting people lost in the sea during their attempt to reach Italian coasts, especially during night.

Coast Guard is allowed to be helped by helicopters equipped with thermal cameras only during daylight time, because flight is forbidden for flying personnel during night hours.

SARA innovative approach solves this main problem, because the ship is equipped with a thermal camera boarded on a semi-automatic and tethered RPAS, able to operate in standalone mode up to 100 meters above the ship, with minor ground control workload. This operational approach is possible thanks to EGNSS technology providing accurate feedback about the RPAS and the hangar baseline, making the solution more reliable.

We are finishing up our research and would like to share the final results of our tethered RPAS solution with you. We have developed a solution which can be used for Search and Rescue as well as Surveillance operations, both at sea and on land. SARA is a mobile and flexible solution. 

We invite you to join our final presentation via a webinar connection or in person at the GSA premises in Prague. All our technical experts will be there to answer any questions you may have. We of course would also like to hear your feedback on our final result.
