Search and Rescue organizations increasingly use drones for missing-person search, thermal detection, and rapid situational awareness. DHS S&T assessed drones for SAR missions, and NIST’s first-responder UAS challenges focused directly on drone systems that help search teams locate victims faster. In the Canadian Arctic, SAR demand has also increased significantly as environmental conditions become less predictable.
Reduce time to plan
Aquti helps teams move from a search objective to a structured multi-UAV plan without stitching together maps, spreadsheets, and flight tools under pressure.
Improve search coverage
The platform allocates UAVs across search sectors, launch points, and mission priorities to improve area coverage and reduce wasted sorties.
Support thermal and remote operations
Aquti supports thermal search planning, remote-area deployments, and Arctic-capable search scenarios where weather and communications constraints matter.
Generate field-ready mission outputs
Operators can create route plans, sector assignments, and mission packages that support field teams and command workflows.
UAV technology is increasingly used by SAR teams across the United States and Canada for thermal search, missing-person response, wide-area search, and rapid aerial situational awareness. Mission planning software like Aquti Mission Planner helps teams coordinate drone fleets, optimize search routes, and improve response speed in remote, hazardous, and Arctic conditions.
