Advanced Victim Detection & Location Technologies

LEADER offers state-of-the-art electronic devices designed to detect, locate, and communicate with victims trapped under rubble following disasters such as earthquakes, explosions, and structural collapses. Our multi-technology solutions ensure rapid identification of survivors, significantly improving rescue response times.

  • SEARCH: Seismic and acoustic life detection systems (geostereophones) for detecting sound and vibrations emitted by trapped victims.
  • SCAN: UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) rescue radar to identify the movements of conscious or unconscious victims under debris.
  • CAM: High-definition color search cameras for visual confirmation and survivor communication in confined spaces.
  • TIC: Thermal imaging cameras designed to locate victims in extreme conditions—smoke, dust, darkness, and debris.
  • RD90: Waterproof search cameras, capable of underwater operations up to 90 meters, enabling searches in submerged or flood-prone environments.

The MULTISEARCH Concept – A Fully Integrated USAR System
