SAR (Search and Rescue)

Search and rescue is whole encompassing for people, pets, fawns etc. Sky Dog ATI has searched for fawns during mowing season (see below), to horses, cats, dogs and even chickens. We use the latest drone thermal technologies and typically are between 250-300' above the ground, so are very non-intrusive. Depending on the conditions, we can cover up to 200 acres / hour.

My Dogs After Dark

A comparison for a night SAR using my dogs (Gunther and Loki) at different altitudes. Pausing at 100', 200' and 300' to show what they look like. It is 43F out, great thermal conditions and after 7:00 PM (Fall), so completely dark out.

Typical search pattern.

This search for a 36 lb. husky involved three launch sites, using thermal at 250-300+ altitude. Total of ~550 acres. Note: only 2 of the 3 areas are shown, which have a significant amount of overlap.
