Air searches are not a new concept - and they certainly are not exclusive to unmanned aircraft. Organizations such as the Civil Air Patrol and the US Coast Guard have spent decades developing and refining techniques for conducting air searches. These methods have been used successfully all over the world, but are intended for manned aircraft operating over large areas and at altitudes above the typical UAS flight. CDRP has developed modified search patterns and profiles that are based on proven techniques, but are adapted for the small UAS to utilize.
These UAS Search Patterns are appropriate for searches for persons or material (providing it is large enough to be detected).
