Community Impact: Free Drone Services for Rescues
Community Impact: Free Drone Services for Rescues
Metro East Drone is committed to strengthening our community by providing free drone support for search, rescue, and recovery missions across the Metro East and surrounding areas. Our mission is simple: use advanced technology to help bring people and pets home safely, support partner agencies, and reduce the strain on already-stretched emergency responders.
Day or Night, We Can Fly When It Matters Most
Our drone fleet can operate both day and night, giving search teams critical capabilities around the clock. In low-visibility environments—darkness, wooded areas, fields, or large rural spaces—our thermal camera and onboard sensors allow us to continue searching long after traditional searching becomes difficult or unsafe.
Matrice 4T: AI-Enhanced Search for Missing People & Pets
Our primary aircraft, the DJI Matrice 4T, includes powerful AI tools designed specifically for search and rescue. With its advanced thermal imaging, optical zoom, and AI-based subject detection, the drone can automatically identify:
- Human heat signatures
- Pet-sized heat signatures
- Unusual movement patterns
- Objects or vehicles linked to a search
This technology dramatically improves the speed and accuracy of locating missing individuals or animals—especially in large or challenging terrain.
Spotlight Capability: Lighting the Way
When conditions—including heavy vegetation, debris, or darkness—make visibility a challenge, our drone-mounted high-intensity spotlight provides immediate overhead illumination. This allows search teams on the ground to safely navigate, identify hazards, and focus on high-priority areas with clear lighting from above.
The spotlight is also invaluable during nighttime operations, allowing us to continue aerial search patterns without relying solely on thermal imagery.
Onboard Speaker: Communication When It Matters Most
In some rescue situations, the person or pet we’re trying to reach may be:
- Too far from responders
- Injured or unable to move
- Without a phone
- Lost in terrain where radio or cell signals don’t reach
Our drone-mounted speaker system gives us the ability to broadcast instructions, reassurance, or alerts directly to them. Whether it’s guiding someone toward responders, letting them know help is coming, or calling out to a lost pet, this tool adds a critical communication link when every second counts.
Always Free. Always Available. Always Here to Help.
Metro East Drone provides all drone services at no cost to partnering agencies, rescues, and organizations. We believe that access to life-saving aerial and underwater technology shouldn’t depend on budget limitations.
Our community-first approach ensures that local law enforcement, fire departments, rescue groups, and humanitarian organizations have access to advanced tools normally limited to larger agencies.
