Chengdu Emergency | Timestech UAV Support Team is here!

In emergency pulling drills, we often see drones. What role can it play? Assuming a flood disaster occurs, causing power failure and paralysis of mobile communication equipment, satellite phones and drones are used to complete communication equipment transportation, information reporting, and delivery of materials to trapped people, which can quickly convey the details of the disaster area and assist in related rescue work. .

This issue of "Emergency Voice" invites Zeng Pengfei from the Chengdu Emergency Times Starlight UAV Support Team to reveal the "other side" of UAVs

When was the Chengdu Emergency Era Starlight UAV Support Team established? Emergency team construction situation?

The Times Starlight UAV Support Team was established in August 2019. It has undertaken the communication support task of emergency rescue in the field of UAVs and information emergency. It has prepared multiple sorties of Wolf Warrior UAVs and communication command vehicles at all times to serve Chengdu around the clock. The Municipal Emergency Management Bureau provides UAV information technology support. A well-trained emergency support team has been formed, and an emergency linkage mechanism has been formulated.

What is the role of drones in rescue?

The effect of UAV application in the field of emergency rescue is also very ideal. In actual use, it can be divided into emergency service and emergency support. Emergency services can involve public security, patrols, etc., including internal daily patrol inspection business work, etc.; emergency support mainly reflects social security tasks, including major emergency disasters, public emergencies, etc.

Can you give some more specific examples to let us all know more about the application of drones in emergency support?

The use of drones in the field of urban rescue is ideal. In the event of a fire accident and the safety passage of high-rise buildings is blocked, how to ensure the safety of residents' lives has become one of the most concerned issues in the rescue field. In the emergency rescue work of high-rise fires, drones can send simple and small oxygen cylinders to the high-rise fire rooms to help people encountering fires to tide over the crisis.

In addition, UAVs are mostly equipped with high-definition cameras and night vision devices, as well as wireless image transmission links, which solve the problems of being invisible, unclear, and incomplete due to communication interruption at the disaster site. The situation is investigated in detail, and the direction for emergency command and rescue can be pointed out. The disaster situation can be grasped by aerial photography, and the content of the aerial photography can be sent back to the emergency rescue command center, so as to have a good understanding of the location and spread of the dangerous situation. Good planning, in the event of mudslides, landslides, earthquakes and other disasters, you can quickly conduct 3D modeling through the tilting camera pod and supporting software, and calculate detailed data of landslides.

Through unmanned aerial vehicle material dumping, it is not limited to transporting oxygen cylinders for high-level users in fire danger, but also transporting breathing masks, life ropes, life jackets, life buoys, food and medicines for trapped people in emergency rescue. The chances of survival of trapped people in harsh conditions.

In the epidemic prevention and control work, the use of drones for material dumping not only improves the delivery efficiency, but also avoids human-to-human contact to avoid infection.

When dealing with emergencies, the role of drones is also significant. For example, when people are trapped in the wild at night, the high-altitude lighting of drones can enable ground personnel to obtain light support during search and rescue.

Because the UAV has the characteristics of easy portability and vertical take-off and landing, it is convenient to use in forest areas, plain areas and even valley areas when it is used for high-altitude lighting. The covered lighting range will reach 4000~7000 square meters, which can bring a lot of help to field search and rescue.

There is also a drone equipped with a shouting pod with emergency broadcast function. Once a disaster occurs, the emergency broadcast mode of the drone can broadcast dangerous content within this range to help the trapped people predict the risk and help them follow the safety instructions. It is also possible to appease the emotions of the trapped people by shouting to escape from danger on the road.

Whether it is in urban danger or in natural disasters, the frequency of use of drones is already very high. In the future, the Wolf Warrior drone will exert its advantages of strong mobility in multiple industries, fields and environments. , in order to provide more convenience and help for the public life.
