Critical Response Capabilities

From natural disasters to industrial accidents—AERIS coordinates autonomous swarms to save lives in the first critical hours.

Rapid Damage Assessment

Within minutes of disaster declaration, deploy swarms of 50-100 drones to systematically photograph and map affected areas. AERIS Command coordinates grid-pattern coverage ensuring no areas are missed or duplicated.

AI analyzes imagery in real-time to identify collapsed structures, locate survivors via thermal signatures and movement detection, assess infrastructure damage to roads/bridges/utilities, and find safe routes for rescue teams.

Assessment Features:

  • ✓ Systematic area coverage with real-time mapping
  • ✓ AI-powered damage classification and prioritization
  • ✓ Infrastructure evaluation (roads, bridges, utilities)
  • ✓ Safe route identification for ground rescue teams
  • ✓ 3D mapping and volumetric damage estimation

Survivor Location & Rescue

Time is critical in disaster scenarios. AERIS-coordinated swarms use thermal imaging to detect human heat signatures through debris, foliage, or collapsed structures—dramatically accelerating survivor discovery.

When survivors are located, drones can drop first-aid kits, water, radios, or GPS beacons while rescue teams navigate to their position. Real-time updates keep incident command informed of rescue progress.

Search & Rescue Features:

  • ✓ Thermal imaging for heat signature detection
  • ✓ Coordinated search patterns with no coverage gaps
  • ✓ GPS-denied navigation for operations in canyons or under canopy
  • ✓ Supply delivery to isolated survivors
  • ✓ Real-time survivor location sharing to rescue teams

Communications & Logistics Support

When ground infrastructure is destroyed, AERIS Mesh provides emergency connectivity and supply delivery.

📡

Emergency Communications Relay

Deploy tethered relay drones or autonomous mesh networks to restore communications in areas with destroyed cell towers and infrastructure.

  • LTE/5G backhaul relay
  • VHF/UHF radio relay for first responders
  • Satellite uplink aggregation
📦

Supply Delivery

Transport medications, water, food, or emergency equipment to isolated populations or rescue teams in areas inaccessible by ground.

  • 5kg payload capacity per drone
  • Precision GPS landing or air-drop
  • Multiple delivery coordination
⚠️

Hazard Detection

Identify secondary hazards like gas leaks, fires, structural instability, or chemical spills before rescue teams enter dangerous areas.

  • CBRN sensor integration
  • Thermal hotspot detection
  • Structural movement monitoring
🗺️

Real-Time Mapping

Generate up-to-date maps showing searched areas, located survivors, identified hazards, and safe routes—shared with all responding agencies.

  • Live GIS layer updates
  • Common operating picture (COP)
  • Multi-agency data sharing

Rapid Deployment

Pre-positioned disaster response kits enable immediate deployment when disasters strike.

Pre-Positioned Response Kits

Deploy pre-configured disaster response bundles to regional staging areas. When disaster strikes, kits can be airlifted or trucked to affected areas and operational within hours, not days.

What's Included:

  • 50-100 ASD-120/300 ISR drones with thermal imaging
  • AERIS Command mobile station with satellite uplink
  • Tethered relay systems for communications restoration
  • Portable charging infrastructure with generator backup
  • Supply delivery modules for medical and survival gear
