When someone goes missing in the wilderness, every minute counts. Footstep transforms search coordination from hours to seconds.
Traditional search operations rely on experience and intuition to determine search areas. Coordinators spend precious hours analysing terrain maps, weather conditions, and incident details while search teams wait for deployment instructions.
With daylight fading and weather conditions changing, teams often search areas based on best guesses rather than data-driven probability analysis.
Generate precise search probability maps within seconds using terrain analysis, behavioural modelling, and environmental conditions.
Our AI analyses elevation data, slope gradients, vegetation density, and trail networks to predict likely movement patterns through wilderness areas.
Different experience levels lead to different movement patterns. Our models factor in hiking experience, fitness level, and typical decision-making under stress.
Weather affects visibility, navigation, and movement speed. Our predictions adapt to current and forecasted conditions in the search area.
"A experienced hiker failed to return from a day hike in challenging terrain. Weather conditions were deteriorating and daylight was limited."
Generate search areas instantly using GPS coordinates, subject profile, and current conditions. No complex setup or training required.
Zoom from broad area overviews to detailed sector assignments. Optimise resource allocation across teams and terrain types.
As teams clear areas or discover clues, update predictions in real-time to focus remaining resources on highest-probability zones.
Download search area data for use in remote locations without cellular coverage. Critical for wilderness operations.
Share probability maps with multiple teams, track search progress, and coordinate resources across large operational areas.
Every search outcome improves future predictions. Our models continuously learn from SAR operations worldwide.
