Technology in Search and Rescue Efforts

General Overview What is Civil Air Patrol? Emergency Services Technology Used/Being Implemented –Video Scan Equipment –Emergency Location Transmitters –Search Theory applied to SAR Conclusions

What is Civil Air Patrol Official Auxiliary of the US Air Force Made up of Civilian Volunteers –Created Dec. 1, 1941 Performed SAR, Coastal Patrols, and other functions for War Department –July 1, 1946, President Truman incorporated CAP as a benevolent, nonprofit organization. Personal Background Information Member since 1992 Currently 1Lt. With GTM Rating, and about 100 hours of SAR training/actual missions

CAP Organization

CAP Resources Aviation Assets Ground Assets Communications Supplies & Equipment

CAP Missions Aerospace Education Cadet Programs Emergency Services oReconnaissance oCounter drug oTransportation oDR oSAR

Commonly Used Technology in Civil Air Patrol Usual Stuff Video Scanning Equipment Emergency Location Transmitters Applications of Search Theory

The Usual Stuff oDatabases for Paperwork oGPS/Map Programs oCommunications oCell Phones oInternet for Media Coverage oLaptop/PDA’s to transmit data to teams

Commonly Used Technology in Civil Air Patrol Usual Stuff Video Scanning Equipment Emergency Location Transmitters Applications of Search Theory

Video Scanning Equipment Best use is in Disaster Relief –Floods, Train Wreck, Hurricanes –Plattsburgh Ice Storm Issues and Obstacles –Weather Conditions Altitude –Transmission Protocols –Matching up Pictures

Commonly Used Technology in Civil Air Patrol Usual Stuff Video Scanning Equipment Emergency Location Transmitters Applications of Search Theory

Search Theory Applied to SAR Terms –POD (Probability of Detection) –POA (Probability of Area) –POS (Probability of Success) –ROW (Rest of World)

Statistics of Behavior

CASIE Computer Aided Search Information Exchange Simplifies Search Theory Calculations Adds other functions –Resource Optimization –Influence of Clues Simple DOS Shell Program

Conclusions Technology is a very helpful aspect to Search and Rescue, but one must remember that at all times it is a tool to be used, not a crutch to depend on Thanks to 1LT Mike Pienkosz, CTWG PAO CAPT James Blessing, 103rd CC MAJ Len Schindler, CTWG PAP
