What we do

Building a Community of Drone Powered Search and Rescue Resources.

Hummingbird Drones™ has been engaged on search and rescue missions across British Columbia since 2016. In the realm of Search and Rescue missions, every challenge poses a unique hurdle.

From battling limited visibility during swift water rescues, to meticulous planning inherent to grid searches. These obstacles underscore the critical importance of cutting-edge tools and highly skilled teams to ensure success but above all, safeguard lives during missions.

Searching with a drone is more than just flying around looking through a camera. Data driven search based on the Lost Person Behaviour guide means the drone is looking in the highest probability areas first.

Search Types

In the realm of Search and Rescue missions, every challenge—from negotiating rugged terrains to battling limited visibility during swift water rescues—poses a unique hurdle.

Night operations compound these complexities with reduced visibility and heightened fatigue risks. Rope rescues demand precision with secure anchor points, effective rope handling, and seamless communication amidst adverse weather conditions. Helicopter operations add further layers of complexity, from weather constraints to restricted communication and landing zones.

Then, there's the meticulous planning and resource demands inherent to grid searches across hazardous terrains and adverse weather scenarios. These obstacles underscore the critical importance of cutting-edge tools and highly skilled teams to not only ensure success but above all, safeguard lives during SAR missions.
