Jatayu Disaster Response System

An autonomous drone system for search & rescue, flood relief, fire response, and post-disaster emergency operations across India's most challenging terrain.

Overview

Autonomous Response When Every Second Counts

In the critical first hours after a disaster — a flood, structural collapse, or wildfire — ground search teams face enormous risk and limited coverage. The Jatayu Disaster Response System gives responders aerial intelligence first: real-time thermal mapping, AI-powered victim detection, and GPS-guided delivery of emergency supplies, all without continuous human pilot control.

It is designed for India's diverse disaster profile — monsoon flood plains, Himalayan terrain, dense urban collapse zones, and cyclone-hit coastal regions — and engineered in India for Indian disaster response needs.

How It Works

From Alert to Aid in Five Steps

  1. STEP 01

    Alert & Launch

    Dock-staged Jatayu units launch on alert while Baaz maps the affected region.

  2. STEP 02

    Thermal Sweep

    The swarm splits the zone into sectors and scans through smoke, darkness, and rubble.

  3. STEP 03

    AI Detection

    Edge AI flags survivors and hazards and pins them on the command-center map.

  4. STEP 04

    Precision Delivery

    Vahak drops medical kits and comms gear to cut-off locations.

  5. STEP 05

    Recharge & Relaunch

    Drones return to the dock, charge, offload data, and fly again.

Core Capabilities

What the System Delivers in Disaster Zones

Low-Latency Edge AI

Onboard neural processing identifies victims and hazards in real time (<100 ms) — no cloud connection needed where communications are down.

Dual Thermal + Optical Payload

Simultaneous thermal and high-definition optical streams let search teams find heat signatures through smoke, darkness, and rubble.

GPS-Denied Navigation

Visual inertial odometry keeps the UAV on course where GPS signals are jammed or unavailable.

Precision Emergency Delivery

GPS-guided drops of medical supplies, communication equipment, and life-saving provisions to cut-off locations.

Swarm Coordination

Multiple UAVs split large disaster perimeters into sectors and share live feeds with the command center over a mesh network.

Autonomous Docking & Charging

Docking stations at staging areas keep drones flying 24/7 — no human battery swaps in dangerous hot zones.
