Hello Folks, I'm Gary Bonneau with Alpha Team K9 Search and Rescue for the last 10 years. We're located in the Atlanta area and cover about 3-4 hour radius. The K9 side of the team has been around for about 23 years. I added the drone side of the team about 8 years ago, both aerial and underwater. We find the combination of K9s and drones to be powerful.
Looking forward to learning how to better use these resources and grow the drone side.
Hi all! Welcome to the working group! Please make sure you get signed up for the webinar tomorrow evening! Come with any questions you may have!
Hello all, I am the Remote Pilot Team Lead for Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue. Joining here by invite from Kyle/MRA. We have been operating sUAS in our unit since 2017, and currently have 5 Part 107 pilots. I'm very interested in learning more about MRA training standards and how teams are navigating BVLOS ops within FAA regs. We are making moves toward NIST standards this year and want to make sure we are aligned with industry standards.
My name is Dylan Youngblood and I am the sUAS Program Coordinator for the Department of Public Safety. Here in Alaska the Department of Public Safety is the lead agency for SAR, but we have many partners like the Alaska Mountain Rescue Group, the Military, and a variety of specialized groups like divers and K9 teams.
