Thermal Drones for Search and Rescue

A search that runs past sundown is where a thermal payload earns its place: the sensor turns body heat into an image, so a crew can clear a wood line, a riverbank or a parking lot without lighting it. What decides whether the aircraft finds a person is the payload, not the airframe — resolution to hold detail from altitude, low NETD to keep contrast on a cold damp night, a stabilized gimbal so the picture stays readable in wind, and a live stream so the ground team can act on what the operator sees. Agency buyers also have to know what they can purchase, so NDAA status and export flags are listed on every drone listing.
