Thermal and visual sweeps run automated patterns over the probable area, holding coverage through darkness and weather that grounds crewed aircraft.
A missing person's probable area expands with every hour. Ground teams cover a fraction of it on foot, and crewed aircraft are expensive, weather-limited, and often unavailable at night when thermal search works best.
Disaster response compounds the problem: roads are gone, communications are down, and the people who need supplies are exactly the ones who cannot be reached. Coverage and logistics have to run at the same time.
Thermal and visual sweeps run automated patterns over the probable area, holding coverage through darkness and weather that grounds crewed aircraft.
Detections resolve into geolocated tasking for ground teams, with terrain mapping that shapes a route in instead of a straight line.
An airborne relay holds the network together for teams working canyons, forest, and collapsed infrastructure with no coverage of their own.
The same heavy-lift airframes move water, medical supplies, and equipment into cut-off areas and carry evacuation loads out.
Thermal and visual search across disaster zones and wilderness.
Rapid deployment of supplies to disaster-affected areas.
Persistent ocean and coastal search for missing vessels and persons.
Rapid terrain assessment for ground team route planning.
Airborne comms relay for coordinating search teams in remote areas.
Thermal imaging and autonomous search during low-visibility conditions.
Mission adaptability without platform redesign. Crews reconfigure between roles in minutes, on the same airframe.
Sensor-configured for wide-area search: thermal and EO payloads, automated sweep patterns, and detection review in real time at incident command.
Airborne node holding the network for teams in terrain with no coverage, extending command past line of sight.
Heavy-lift configuration moving water, medical supplies, shelter, and equipment into areas ground routes cannot reach.
Thermal sweeps across forest, desert, and mountain terrain.
Coverage through darkness, when thermal contrast is strongest.
Wide-area search for vessels and persons in the water.
Thermal and optical survey of collapsed and unstable structures.
Survey and supply delivery across areas with no road access.
Network extension for teams working out of coverage.
Water, medical supplies, and shelter into cut-off communities.
Rapid assessment for ground team route planning and staging.
Movement of casualties and stranded persons out of the area.
Certification for SAR teams and volunteer operators, scenario training on search patterns, night thermal work, and detection handoff under incident command.
Integration with incident command structures, existing SAR workflows, mutual-aid coordination, and airspace deconfliction with crewed aircraft.
Maintenance for units held on standby, hybrid power servicing, remote diagnostics, and parts staged at regional response bases.
Powerus fields one autonomous architecture across six missions, shared platforms, shared ground control, a single U.S. supply chain.
