RT Aerostat Systems Unveils New Disaster Search & Rescue System

Our Bureau - : Mar 16, 2023 - : 5:08 am

RT Aerostat Systems, designer, developer, and manufacturer of the SkyStar family of aerostats, has launched SkyStar 140, a cellular geo-location-mounted mini-aerostat, at the ongoing show. “The new technology has helped us bring a precision lifesaving system to the Emergency Services sector, especially after the recent earthquakes in Turkey,” said CEO of RT Aerostat Systems, Rami Shmueli. “The integration of the NRE systems has created an advanced solution that enables situational awareness, rapid response, and access to any disaster arena.”

The search and rescue system helps in quickly locating missing and trapped people following any natural disaster or terror incident, and in combat zones. It can monitor any arena and operate in heavily damaged urban sites as well as in open areas affected by hurricanes and floods. Carried in backpacks by a team of two or by any vehicle including pickup trucks or ATVs, the system can be ready for deployment within ten minutes after arrival at the arena. The system is independent, not requiring the use of local mobile networks, and supports all types of cellular networks. The SkyStar 140 system includes an active multi-band, multi-technology IMSI catcher to trigger idle cellular phones, an advanced Direction Finding/Geo-Location system to detect and locate mobile signals, three low-SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) passive sensors carried by three mini-tactical SkyStar aerostat systems, and a ground control application. Information is processed and transmitted to the ground unit which calculates and displays a 3D geo-location of the cell phone. Soaring to an altitude of 1500 ft, the high-precision system is accurate within only a few meters and provides long operational endurance.
