Plan the search area
Attach the boundary, priority zones, access routes, and observation requirements before assigning aircraft.
For search coordinators and emergency response teams
One search. Every sector accounted for.
Describe the search area, divide the work between available aircraft, and keep the ground team informed. Aeros brings the search boundary, completed coverage, and areas needing another pass into one mission workspace.
Your fleet. Your flight systems. Your team in control.

Match the payload to the task
Prioritize supported thermal or visual payloads and check aircraft readiness and operator responsibility.
Retain coverage through handoffs
Keep completed sectors, field observations, and open questions visible as priorities or aircraft change.
Inside the mission
Explore a three-sector search.
This illustrative search divides a waterfront area between three aircraft. See how a field update changes the priority area without losing the original coverage record.

✳Aeros ReportMission brief
Show the completed sectors and the area that needs another pass.
Review sector coverage
The north and access sectors are complete in this example. The eastern sector remains open; completed coverage is not a finding of absence.

From request to result
Carry the whole search into the next decision.
A search can cross shifts, aircraft, and teams. Keep the boundary, completed work, and remaining questions attached to the operation throughout those changes.
- 01
Set the boundary
Define the search area and priority locations. Include the observation objective, time window, access constraints, and ground-team coordination needs.
- 02
Assign the sectors
Match supported aircraft and payloads to each area. Review the proposed routes, battery reserves, and operator assignments before execution.
- 03
Review observations together
Keep available scene imagery and field reports tied to their location. Mark areas for another look; a completed flight does not establish that a person or object is absent.
- 04
Update the remaining work
When the priority area changes, review revised assignments and retain completed coverage. Export the search timeline and outstanding areas for the next team.
Connect your operation
A clear starting point.
A defined result.
Aeros is a software layer for existing drone operations. Start with one workflow, confirm the supported connections, and validate it with your operating team.
What you connect
Search boundaries, priority areas, supported aircraft and payloads, team contacts, and search procedures.
What you review
Payload availability, visibility and weather, operating limits, operator responsibility, and launch-site access.
What comes back
Sector coverage, location-linked observations, areas requiring another pass, and a handover summary.
Supported data and actions vary by aircraft, dock, and provider API. Flight execution, connectivity, operator qualifications, and required authorizations remain part of your operation. We agree those dependencies before deployment.
Practical questions
Before you connect
the first aircraft.
Does Aeros automatically find missing people?
The workflow shown here coordinates aircraft and search coverage. It does not claim automatic person detection or identification. Trained teams review imagery and observations and decide what requires further attention.
Can we prioritize thermal aircraft?
Payload requirements can guide the plan when the relevant aircraft and data are connected. Thermal imagery depends on the installed sensor, environmental conditions, and provider support. The thermal view on this website is simulated.
What stays available during an aircraft handover?
The search boundary, completed sectors, outstanding areas, observations, and operator decisions should stay with the mission. The next assignment is reviewed against that remaining work.
Built around the way you operate
