Collaboration

Seafarers during ship abandonment need to take copies of logbooks and nautical charts with them. However, results of the SARex2- exercise show that in the cold Arctic, such action is very unlikely. On the other hand, most ships have this information in electronic form.

Using a light weight cellular base station mounted on a drone. Use for communications to groups in areas of no cellular coverage.

Used for warnings of weather change, need for assistance. SAR: Detect, Locate, Communicate.

Arranging virtual tabletop exercises has proven to be an efficient way of sharing knowledge and training across borders.

The idea is to mount a novel low-cost, lightweight and miniature acoustomicrofluidic nebulisation platform onto an unmanned aerial vehicle or miniature autonomous robotic vehicle to autonomously and remotely deliver therapeutics and antidotes via inhalation to incapacitated subjects exposed to hazardous threats rapidly.

Arena to share best practices, evaluation and lessons identified from exercises and incidents

The Department of Public Safety Canada is developing a SAR database to enable common storage of Canadian SAR case data whether Ground, Air, or Maritime SAR, since each area of SAR falls under a different jurisdiction in Canada.
