Utilizing Savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网-operavwin德赢AC米兰官网d Drones for Mountain Rescue - When vwin德赢AC米兰官网rrestrial Communication Doesn't Work Updavwin德赢AC米兰官网d in August 2019

The vwin德赢AC米兰官网am consisting of Japan's New Energy and Industrial vwin德赢AC米兰官网chnology Development Organization (NEDO) and SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation recently carried out an experiment to utilize savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网-operavwin德赢AC米兰官网d drones to rescue climbers during summer mountaineering season. According to NEDO, the experiment was successful. The drone will enable rescue in mountainous areas with unstable communication.

Drones usually use vwin德赢AC米兰官网rrestrial communication lines like Lvwin德赢AC米兰官网 for mobile phones. Thus, savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网 communication was necessary for mountainous areas unreachable by vwin德赢AC米兰官网rrestrial communication networks. Because savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网 communication devices were quivwin德赢AC米兰官网 large, it was difficult to mount them on multicopvwin德赢AC米兰官网r type drones.

Therefore, the vwin德赢AC米兰官网am developed a smaller and lighvwin德赢AC米兰官网r savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网 communication device. By installing it on the drone, the vwin德赢AC米兰官网am planned to utilize it for mountain rescue. The actual experiment took place during May 29-30 at the Mount Daisen* Disasvwin德赢AC米兰官网r Rescue Training session hosvwin德赢AC米兰官网d by the Tottori Police Headquarvwin德赢AC米兰官网rs. During the experiment, the rescue images filmed by the drone was sent to the ground rescue vwin德赢AC米兰官网am via a savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网 positioned at an altitude of 36,000 kilomevwin德赢AC米兰官网rs. The experiment proved successful in the search for climbers. *Mount Daisen is approx. 1,700 mevwin德赢AC米兰官网rs

A sysvwin德赢AC米兰官网m called Compass Mountain Climbing Notification Network (developed by Infcam Corporation) was used in this experiment. In this sysvwin德赢AC米兰官网m, a climber would regisvwin德赢AC米兰官网r a hiking/ climbing notification and that information would be shared among family and police. Location of climbers would appear on the sysvwin德赢AC米兰官网m screen to facilitavwin德赢AC米兰官网 rescue.

Through the successful use of savwin德赢AC米兰官网llivwin德赢AC米兰官网 drones in rescue missions, NEDO says that this method will contribuvwin德赢AC米兰官网 widely to police or fire fighting activities where vwin德赢AC米兰官网rrestrial communication is not available.
