Initial situation & project description
Mountain rescuers are to be supported in their missions by drones. This project serves to investigate the possibilities for use and to validate individual procedures. These possibilities are, for example: the transportation of injured persons by heavy-duty drones, the search for injured persons by swarms of drones or the detection of forest fires.
The final system is to be presented at the 2026 Olympics in Cortina.
Project goals
- Where can drones be used in mountain rescue?
- Use of drones for transporting injured persons
- Use of drone swarms for searching for injured persons
- Legal framework for the use of drones in mountain rescue operations
