DroneSAR developments

The partnership will combine SafeTrx’s mobile maritime safety platform with DroneSAR’s search and rescue drone platform to deliver a highly integrated Search And Rescue (SAR) solution.

Together DSI and DroneSAR are co-innovating in automated incident response and drone dispatch to provide an integrated high quality digital automated interface between distress messages triggered by SafeTrx to DroneSAR’s flight planning software.

John Murphy, General Manager, DSI commented “As we enter the new era of the Internet of Things (IOT), companies must cooperate and co-innovate to solve the really tough problems. Partnering with DroneSAR allows us to explore the potential for autonomous drone dispatch to the location of a SafeTrx distress call. We have some great ideas on how our combined solutions can help our customers around the world”.

Oisin McGrath, CEO, DroneSAR commented “Using the most advanced drone technology, our rescue software and the SafeTrx app we can now enable these machines to fly autonomously to a distress signal. Reducing search time and risk to personnel is key and if one life is saved, that is mission success for us. We are very excited about bringing this partnership forward".
