Rapid Aerial Thermal Search & Rescue Capabilities

When searching for missing persons, lost pets, or missing livestock, traditional ground searches are severely constrained by darkness, thick brush, and terrain barriers. Flow Services provides rapid-response aerial thermal imaging support, utilizing high-gain radiometric thermal sensors to pinpoint living heat signatures instantaneously.

Mission Scope & Features

  • Thermal Isotherm Palette Customization: Specialized thermal color palettes that highlight 98.6°F human and animal body heat contrasts against cooler ground ambient backgrounds.
  • Nocturnal & Low-Visibility Operations: Full nighttime flight capabilities with sUAS platforms equipped with FAA anti-collision lighting and high-power spotlights.
  • Dense Canopy Penetration: Flying at optimized grid patterns and tilt angles to detect thermal energy escaping through tree cover.
  • First Responder Coordination: Live video feed streaming to ground search commanders for real-time location vectoring.
