Enhancing body detection in CSSR Operations Using Advanced Technology

Source

Source summary

Develop hardware/software support for NDRF detecting deceased people buried under rubble during collapsed-structure search and rescue. The source identifies limitations of probing, dogs and acoustic methods and suggests specialised sensing/imaging or drones with thermal/GPR equipment as possible approaches. These are proposals to evaluate, not proven detection capabilities; the deceased-person focus should not be replaced by a generic survivor locator.

Fire Fighting Drone for High-Rise buildings

The challenge proposes a drone to deliver firefighting foam at heights conventional vehicles cannot reach. Stated targets include delivery at 90 metres, a 60-litre-per-minute foam rate, a supporting vehicle with water and foam tanks for at least 20 minutes of firefighting, 45 minutes of flight endurance and 150 kg payload capacity. Optical and infrared cameras support remote viewing. A pump and integrated controls are required, with deployment from cold by two people within five minutes. These are proposed requirements, not validated performance.

UAS-Borne NBC Detection Capabilities along with ALS equipped UAS (modular)

Develop a modular UAS with two roles: real-time detection and identification of nuclear, biological and chemical hazards, and a roll-on/roll-off airborne life-saving module for search and rescue. The source requires portable, reliable payloads using onboard power without interference. The rescue configuration needs encrypted communications, relay support, autonomous/GPS-denied navigation, night and harsh-weather operation, at least two hours endurance and integration with existing rescue systems.

Development of an embedded solution for real -time image analysis using AI

Develop an embedded AI module that recognises flame or smoke in images and generates an alarm for a fire-detection/control system. The source emphasises economical use of hardware resources and integration of a prototype into a larger future system. Detection performance is not demonstrated by the brief.
