Vision Aerial Drones for Search & Rescue
Search & Rescue (SAR) teams rely on speed, accuracy, endurance, and real-time intelligence to save lives. Vision Aerial’s SwitchBlade-Elite, equipped with advanced cameras such as the Hadron 640R, delivers high-resolution thermal and visible imaging with AI-enabled detection—allowing responders to locate missing persons faster, even in complete darkness or extreme weather.

When minutes matter
In search and rescue operations, teams race against the clock and faster response times improve survival rates. Vision Aerial drones can be easily transported to any location and then take less than two minutes to deploy. Advanced cameras and sensors can also scan wide areas more quickly than traditional on-the-ground methods.
Precision when it counts
Search and rescue missions often take place in remote locations with dense brush, cliffs, hills, ravines, or other difficult terrains. When you combine the SwitchBlade-Elite, which has a power-efficient autonomous range of 25 km (16 mi), with an ultralight camera like the Hadron 640R, Vision Aerial drones can quickly cover more ground.
