Aerial assessment of disasters, floods and major incidents with real-time situational awareness, wildfire coordination and SAR operations
Aerial assessment of disasters, floods and major incidents with real-time situational awareness, wildfire coordination and SAR operations
In major emergencies — floods, earthquakes, industrial accidents — rapid aerial assessment of the situation is critical for effective resource coordination. IMS Drones platforms can be deployed within minutes of an alert, providing the emergency coordination centre with real-time, georeferenced imagery to guide decision-making.
Early detection and precise coordination of resources are decisive in the first minutes of a wildfire. IMS VTOL systems generate real-time thermal orthomosaics over the fire front, delimiting the active perimeter and predicting spread to assign brigades, helicopters and ground units at the optimal point.
Continuous monitoring with thermal sensors to identify ignition points at early stage, enabling intervention before the fire spreads to critical zones
Generation of thermal orthomosaics with exact delimitation of the active perimeter and spread prediction for optimal allocation of suppression resources
Intelligent deployment of brigades, helicopters and ground teams via spread analysis and safe access routes identified from the air
Encrypted video link and georeferenced data to the operations centre for real-time coordination, including fully functional operation in dense smoke
Thermal detection algorithms that automatically locate victims in the search area, reducing time to detection
Aerial mapping of the affected zone for extent assessment, identification of access routes and risk zones
Encrypted video data link for direct transmission to emergency coordination centres
Robust design maintaining operability in rain, wind and low visibility typical of disaster scenarios
Search and rescue (SAR) operations demand maximum speed in covering wide areas. IMS VTOL drones allow deployment in minutes of a platform capable of exploring tens of square kilometres with high-sensitivity thermal sensors, locating victims in mountain, forest or maritime environments.
Real-time GPS coordinate relay to the SAR coordination centre enables precise vectoring of helicopters and ground teams, drastically reducing the time between location and effective rescue.
Rapid coverage of search zones with 180-minute endurance and 20 km range, enabling systematic patrols of large territories with programmed routes
High-sensitivity FLIR sensors for locating victims in mountain, forest or maritime environments via thermal signature during night operations or low visibility
Automatic transmission of georeferenced positions to SAR centres with centimetric accuracy for immediate vectoring of helicopters and ground teams
Full search capability in total darkness without artificial lighting dependency, enabling operational continuity in prolonged critical emergencies
