The challenge
Search and rescue teams operate under extreme pressure, often in remote and hazardous environments where visibility, time, and connectivity are limited.
They commonly face:
- Rapidly changing weather and environmental conditions.
- Severe time pressure, with little opportunity for complex paperwork.
- Operations in remote locations with poor or no connectivity.
- The need to capture accurate flight logs for debriefing and learning.
- Dynamic hazards that evolve throughout a mission.
