Initial situation – when every minute counts…
The chance of survival of persons buried by an avalanche reduces with every minute. Only 15 minutes buried in an avalanche reduce the chance of survival rapidly. The rescues by common avalanche rescue beacons often are not successful because the localisation of these transceivers is complex and time-consuming. This emphasizes the need for innovations within the area of avalanche rescues.
Search by avalanche rescue beacons
Pinpoint search and targeting by conventional search methods like avalanche rescue beacons are time-consuming. These two phases can demand up to 60% of the searching time.
Localisation by »Galileo SAR Avalanche«
The exact position of the buried person will be determined within a few decimetres by localisation with »Galileo SAR Avalanche«. Therefore the fine search process is no longer necessary and the pinpoint search is reduced significantly. Thanks to this precision, the targeting can be reduced to a minimum. It accelerates the whole search process by up to 40%.
