Description

RescueHeat, powered by HYGER technology, embeds advanced infrared detection in drones for human locations in mountainous and remote regions. Utilizing high-purity black germanium, HYGER provides high sensitivity and low noise, ideal for detecting heat signatures in difficult terrains. The technology spans near-infrared (NIR) to long-wave infrared (LWIR), offering precise thermal data for search and rescue teams. It includes a communication unit and terrain tracking system, directing rescue efforts efficiently through challenging environments. With its affordability, CMOS compatibility, and adaptability, RescueHeat is poised to revolutionize search and rescue operations, enhancing efficiency and precision in disaster response and wilderness safety.
