Every second counts — plan fast and accurately
Search and Rescue
Search and Rescue operations demand fast, accurate planning in unfamiliar terrain. Milmap gives SAR teams the tools to map search areas quickly, divide routes between teams and navigate in real time — even without an internet connection.
Challenges
- Rapid route planning in unfamiliar terrain is essential
- Multiple teams need to be coordinated
- Terrain knowledge is critical for a safe operation
- Coordinate communication must be error-free
