Rescue Drones Network and GMDE
A new collaboration to support the community in medium-macro emergency relief activities.
It is with these words that Massimiliano Papa, head of the External Relations and Communications Department wanted to thank GMDE for the technological support provided to the Rescue Drones Network OdV.
The activities of Rescue Drones Network
Rescue Drones Network is the first rapid deployment network of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (Drones) to support both ordinary and medium-to-macro emergency rescue activities, including: missing persons search, rail and road accidents, hydrogeological disruption and fire monitoring.
How drones are employed
Flying over the area of interest, drones are able to take hundreds of images and send them complete with geolocation to an algorithm that can identify a specific color within the pixels of a photo. Once the image is identified with information about, for example, the subject to be searched, the GPS data is passed to the rescue team on the ground, which then completes the recovery task.
Next scheduled event
It will be held from Friday, Sept. 2, to Sunday, Sept. 4, in Roccaraso and Rivisondoli the FTI22 national exercise "Finally All Together" in which all the associations such as Italian Red Cross Sulmona Committee, P.I.V.E.C. Distaccamento di Castel di Sangro, MODAVI ABRUZZO, A.N.A. group of Ateleta Section Abruzzi and of NUCLEO OPERATIVO CINOFILI ECOBY U.C.S. will take part.
