Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Southern Alberta Institute of Technology
$25,000.00
Unmanned aerial systems applications in search and rescue operations
FY 2016-17
Summary
SAIT proposes to investigate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) applications in search and rescue (SAR) operations with industry partner InDro Robotics Inc., a highly experienced, full-service unmanned systems firm, along with Coquitlam Search and Rescue. The multidisciplinary project will carry out a simulated SAR mission and use geographic information science, remote sensing and video analysis to deliver a structured evaluation of the use of UAS in SAR, which will support the development of operational parameters for this application of UAS technology. The company will use the outcomes to develop and commercialize UAS technologies and services targeting the SAR sector.
