Search & Rescue.

This purpose-built pod, specifically designed for search and rescue missions, combines advanced sensors with life-saving equipment delivery capabilities. It is unique in its class in integrating both detection systems and emergency supplies within a single platform.

The BD150 may have been conducting controlled burning within the previous hour of duty, yet it can be reequipped within minutes to an emergency SAR response.

Maritime and Land-Based Operations.

The SAR mission pod will be suitably equipped for either land or sea location, rescue and survival kit. A typical equipment fitout can include:

Maritime

  • Two 5-man liferafts
  • EPIRB with 121.5MHz radio

  • Water

  • First Aid Equipment and Basic Medication
  • Visual Locator Flares

Land-Based

  • Lightweight tent
  • EPIRB with 121.5MHz radio

  • Water
  • First Aid Equipment and Basic Medication

In maritime rescue scenarios, the T150 matches helicopter transit speed but offers up to 12 hours of endurance at the limit of territorial waters.

It can search and deliver survival equipment ahead of rescue assets, providing life-saving capability at a fraction of conventional SAR costs.

Preprogrammed search patterns and FM Channel 16 comms relay ensure coordination with surface vessels and continuous link to the rescue control centre.
