At the heart of all search and rescue operations is the aim to locate the casualty as quickly as possible. Increasingly, technology is used to help locate a victim in poor visibility environments (smoke-filled buildings) or when lost in a large geographical area. Thermal Imaging has an important role to play in speeding up searches and after extensive development and testing, we are excited to offer you two Thermal Imaging Training Solutions. Our new Thermal Imaging Suit was designed to meet the growing demand for a manikin that could be detected on thermal imaging equipment. But instead of creating a manikin that had this capability, we have designed a special suit that goes over the top of your existing manikin to give instant thermal imaging capabilities, with more flexibility.
