The Brief

The Search and Rescue Aerial Association (SARAA) are a team of volunteers who operate drones for Search and Rescue operations in Scotland. They have provided us with a brief to create a proof of concept aircraft to operate in the mountain Search and Rescue environment.

The aircraft must navigate through variable terrain autonomously, providing thermal / visual monitoring, and operating BVLOS up to 5km away; all of which must be achieved in the extreme weather conditions of the Scottish Highlands.
