What We Do
Aligned with recent advancements in UAV and UAS development and manufacturing, we aim to address emergency response requirements through various tailored approaches, contingent upon prevailing circumstances. Functionally, the versatility and adaptability of UAVs are bolstered by their sustainability, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption by diminishing reliance on ground transportation. Sergius stresses the applicability and deployment potential of these drones across a broad spectrum of scenarios, including, but not limited to:
Firefighting:
- Deployment of combined, integrated, or sole responses to wildfires utilising all modes of transportation.
- Operation in the most challenging and severe temperature and weather conditions due to recent technological innovations.
- Integration of AI-driven technology into UAV firefighting operations to optimise risk recognition, ensuring accurate diagnosis and preventing extraneous missions.
- Capability to deliver water to areas affected by wildfires even in the absence of a consistent water supply, facilitated by portable water capsules equipped with thermal activation technology.
Monitoring & Disaster Surveillance:
- Continuous 24/7 surveillance of wildfires, hurricanes, earthquakes, eruptions, and general weather conditions.
- Utilisation of infrared imaging, high-resolution maps, and 3D terrain models for disaster risk mitigation, natural disaster prediction, and modelling.
- Guarantee of cutting-edge and highly honed monitoring capabilities due to decades of development in surveillance-based drone systems.
- Possession of various sensors and detectors provides a multidirectional approach to emergency situations and challenges.
Medical & Emergency Delivery:
- Efficient transportation of life-saving equipment including AEDs, PPE, vaccines, required medications, medical samples, food, and water.
- Facilitation of delivery for time-sensitive items such as organs and blood for transplantation and transfusion.
- Potential for UAVs to deliver telemedical assistance with two-way video communication aiding in diagnosis, evaluation, and intervention.
- Enhanced effectiveness of search and rescue operations with the use of drones in locating missing persons in remote or rural areas. Applications of this can range from warzones to avalanches with a 50%-time reduction in locating people.
Mission Coordination:
- Reliable operation even during system-wide failures of communications or electrical infrastructure.
- Integration of backup systems such as additional batteries and alternative navigation tools.
- Protection against potential hacking threats and equipped with advanced tracking systems.
- Cost-effective mission planning with the aid of AI-driven technologies, prioritising pressing concerns and rejecting falsely diagnosed situations.
Wide-Range Accessibility:
- Capability to deliver aid to hard-to-reach, underserved, and remote areas during critical situations such as hurricanes, flash floods, or earthquakes.
- 24/7 operational capacity and advanced night-vision capabilities for rapid and cost-effective transportation access.
- Facilitation of unmanned delivery of medical equipment during infectious disease outbreaks, ensuring viral containment and rapid aid.
- Ability to deliver to remote areas in inclement weather conditions due to agility and advanced operational systems.
- Capacity to also integrate all-terrain vehicles alongside UAVs, with the means to cross any bodies of water, overcome significant obstacles and operate in extreme temperatures.
Contamination Prevention:
- Deployment of UAVs for the removal of remnants of chemical warfare, addressing the presence of life-threatening chemicals and substances requiring specialist removal services.
- Facilitation of drone-led clean-up strategies for environments that are extensively contaminated, which will save further lives and aid the enactment of a swift response to such time-sensitive emergencies.
- Real-time monitoring of air quality within and surrounding pollutant-emitting facilities, preventing dangerous pollution levels developing.
- Enhancement of speed and accuracy of emergency response during natural and anthropogenic nuclear incidents by quickly gathering precise on-site information, leading to more targeted rescue efforts while minimising irradiation and expediting the clean-up process.
Defence Applications:
- Safe and efficient disposal of dangerous remnants of war activity including anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, unexploded ordinance, and live ammunition.
- Utilisation of multispectral imaging and LiDAR scanning for comprehensive analysis of military sites, facilitating the secure disposal of hazardous munitions and equipment as well as military target identification and reconnaissance.
- Integration of highly accurate orthophoto mapping tied to robust drone navigation systems for detailed analyses of difficult to access terrain.
- Real-time 360-degree video surveillance with stabilised day/night quality ensuring that no developing military factors are misinterpreted or missed, which is all the more crucial in defence operations.
- Implementation of risk reduction strategies in conflict zones during and after hostilities.
