For emergency services across Germany, Austria & Switzerland

Purpose-built drones for search and rescue.

Thermal and AI victim detection, onboard payload delivery, and a 60-minute flight envelope rated for alpine conditions. Airborne in under five minutes.

Emergency services across DACH run tens of thousands of search operations each year, increasingly with drones adapted from consumer or survey platforms. HumanSight is built for the task itself: finding a person, reaching them, and holding station in terrain and weather where it matters most.

Where current drones fall short

Two categories. One gap in the middle.

Most teams choose between platforms that are affordable but underequipped, or capable but generic and slow to field. HumanSight sits in between.

Consumer drones
€1–5k

Accessible, but without calibrated thermal, AI detection, or payload capacity. Not designed to locate and reach a casualty.

Defense-grade systems
€50–200k

Highly capable, but generic, complex to operate, and tied to long procurement and heavy training.

HumanSight
€15k

Specialised for SAR: thermal, AI detection, payload delivery and redundant flight control, at a department-level price.

Capabilities

Four core capabilities.

Operated by one person, through a single interface, with the same training across every mission type.

Thermal & HD

Radiometric thermal and HD video to locate people through darkness and light vegetation.

AI detection

Real-time person recognition flags likely casualties to the operator, with no specialist analyst required.

Payload delivery

Carries a first-aid kit, communications relay, or light module to the casualty location.

Redundant flight control

Two power systems, two engines, and automotive-grade control. A single failure ends in a safe landing.

Operational in under five minutes, with up to 60 minutes on station.

Modular payloads

One aircraft, configured per mission.

Up to 3 kg per flight. One or two modules at a time, changed in the field in seconds.

First-aid kit

1.5 kg

Tourniquet, thermal blanket, hypothermia pack, glucose, to stabilise the casualty ahead of ground teams.

SatCom relay

1.2 kg

Iridium node that restores two-way contact where there is no cellular coverage, including live audio.

Light & speaker

0.8 kg

High-lumen spotlight and two-way audio to locate, reassure, and guide ground teams to the casualty.

Sensor pod

1.0 kg

Extended-range thermal, gas detection, or spectrometer on a configurable, agency-specific mount.

Deployment

Three deployment models.

The same aircraft, interface and training, staged to match how your service responds.

01 · Fixed station

Stationed at a base

Charging dock and weather-protected hangar at a rescue base or fire station; deploys directly to the incident.

Suited to: known coverage areas, regular call-out volume.
02 · Mobile vehicle

Carried to the scene

Transported in a service vehicle, ATV, command unit, or rescue boat; deploys from the staging area on site.

Suited to: variable terrain, urban search, water rescue.
03 · Multi-site network

A fleet across a region

Multiple units across stations, with the nearest deploying on dispatch coordinates through one coordination layer.

Suited to: regional rollout across linked stations.
Alongside manned aircraft

A complement to the helicopter, not a replacement.

HumanSight deploys faster, costs less per mission, and operates in some conditions that keep manned aircraft on the ground.

CategoryHumanSightManned helicopter
Cost per mission~€20~€3,500 / hour
Deployment time< 5 min8–15 min
Max wind tolerance14 m/s (icing-resilient)~20 m/s (icing-grounded earlier)
Crew required1 operator2–3 (pilot, paramedic, winchman)
Time to first scan~5 min~12–20 min

An estimated 30% of alpine SAR helicopter call-outs are weather-restricted, a share HumanSight can help cover.

Operating cost

Roughly €20 per mission to operate.

Average alpine helicopter call-out~€4,500
HumanSight per-mission cost~€20
Difference per substitutable mission~€4,480
Substitutable missions / year80–150
Cost recovered within ~30 days

at a typical alpine station. Drone plus first-year service: ~€16,800.
