🆕 Application Note: Search and Rescue Operations with the Metropolitan Police 🆕 We are pleased to share our new article about the joint trial which has showcased the impressive capabilities of high-resolution radar technology in search and rescue operations. During trials on the River Thames, the RAS6 Navtech Radar was mounted on a Targa 32 patrol boat to test its ability to detect small targets amidst the complex environment of the waterway, assessing the radar’s accuracy and its ability to filter out sea clutter. Key Results: ✔️The radar successfully detected the dummy up to 90 metres away, clearly distinguishing it from surrounding sea noise. ✔️It accurately tracked a live swimmer, even picking up subtle movements like head and shoulder visibility, and the splashing motion of a distressed swimmer. This successful trial highlights the cutting-edge performance of the Navtech Radar in high-noise environments, demonstrating its potential to enhance safety and search and rescue efforts on the water.

🚒 The Need for Extended Aerial Firefighting Support is Growing The latest from AirMed & Rescue Magazine reveals the 2023/24 fire season in Western Australia was the longest and busiest yet. ✈️The aerial fleet flew over 2,300 hours, dropped more than 17 million litres of water and retardant, and made 7,025 drops. It's clear that as fire seasons become longer and more severe, the demand for effective aerial support is crucial. 💧That's why making every drop of water count is more important than ever. BLAZETAMER380 enhances the capacity of firefighting aircraft, making each drop count.

🚨 This Week's NearMiss ! 🚨 👀 Dive into the heart-stopping moment where a ute narrowly escapes a potential high-speed T-bone collision. 🚚💨🚗 💡 The chances of surviving a T-bone collision at high speeds are extremely low due to the minimal buffer against the force of impact on the vehicle's side. This type of accident is one of the most dangerous due to the direct intrusion into the passenger compartment. 🤔 Leave your thoughts below! What safety measures could be implemented to prevent these high-risk incidents? 🚦🛑 #RoadSafety #NearMiss #TrafficAwareness #DriveSafe
