Floods
Find people stranded on roofs and islands, and plan boat routes.
Search and rescue
Search and rescue drones that find people faster.
In a search, every hour matters. A thermal drone can sweep a hillside, a riverbank or a forest at night and spot a person by body heat, while the team stays safe. Saksham Thermal flies 55+ minutes per battery, so it can cover large areas without frequent landings.
Where drones help rescuers
Situations NDRF, SDRF, fire services, mountain rescue and NGOs face across India.
Landslides and earthquakes
Survey unstable ground without sending people onto it.
Mountains and treks
Search ridges and valleys where ground teams are slow.
Forests at night
Thermal imaging finds people under thin cover and in darkness.
Fires
See hotspots and trapped people through smoke.
Water
Search coastlines, lakes and rivers.
A simple search workflow
How teams typically fly a thermal search.
1. Plan the area
Split the search area into sectors on a map.
2. Thermal sweep
Fly the sectors with the thermal view to spot heat signatures.
3. Confirm with zoom
Switch to the telephoto camera to check each find.
4. Mark the location
Use the laser rangefinder and position data to guide ground teams.
Training and readiness
NVX trains rescue teams on the drone, battery care and search patterns, and supports maintenance so the drone is ready when an emergency comes. Keep batteries stored at storage charge and run a monthly test flight.
FAQ
Search & Rescue Drones: common questions
Why use a thermal drone for search and rescue?
People are warmer than their surroundings, especially at night, so they stand out clearly on a thermal camera even when hard to see by eye.
How large an area can Saksham search?
It depends on altitude, speed and overlap. With 55+ minutes per flight and up to 15 km range, Saksham can cover large sectors per battery.
Can it fly in rain?
Drones should not be flown in heavy rain or strong wind. Check the operating limits with NVX for your conditions.
Do you train rescue teams?
Yes. NVX provides on-site training on the drone, thermal search and safe operation.
