FINDER uses low-power microwave radar to see through piles of rubble and detect heartbeats from buried and trapped victims. FINDER searches for the unique characteristics of human breathing and heartbeat to distinguish between humans, animals, and mechanical movement. It accurately identified multiple victims simultaneously and allows responders to rapidly focus their rescue resources where they are needed most. FINDER was developed by first responders within the intelligence, military, law enforcement communities in partnership with NASA, JPL, and DHS |
