Explore OMNI UXV radar, multimodal, airborne and through-wall life-detection systems for rescue and authorized tactical search.
Category brief
Life-detection equipment supports trained teams with additional evidence when visibility and access are limited. Radar, vibration, audio, video and thermal methods respond differently to material, distance, movement and environmental noise.
No sensor can confirm survival on its own. Search procedures should combine multiple observations, trained interpretation, marking discipline and safe rescue operations.
Product line
Urban search and rescue
The DN-III+ is a portable ultra-wideband radar for search teams working around collapsed structures. It detects movement and breathing-related micro-motion through non-metallic debris and returns range information to the operator.
Multi-target positioning
The DN-IV uses a MIMO ultra-wideband array to improve target separation and location through non-metallic building debris. It is intended for trained urban search-and-rescue teams.
Hazardous-environment search
The YSF40 adapts radar life-detection workflows for mining incidents. Final intrinsic-safety or explosion-protection documentation must be matched to the exact supplied configuration and destination requirements.
Cross-verified search
The DN-VI combines radar, micro-vibration and audio-video sensing so teams can cross-check ambiguous indications. Each sensing mode is used within its physical limits rather than treated as a guaranteed result.
Rapid-area search
The DN-UAV combines an unmanned aircraft, UWB radar and optical payload for rapid search over unstable or inaccessible areas. Flight conditions, rubble composition and stand-off distance affect detectability.
Compact search tool
The X1 gives first-entry teams a portable radar option for rapid screening. It is used to prioritize areas for deeper assessment and does not replace structural-safety procedures or multi-sensor verification.
Tactical awareness
The CEM100 supports trained public-safety teams with non-contact movement awareness behind common non-metallic walls. Results depend on wall construction, distance, clutter and target behavior.
Spatial tactical sensing
The CEM400 is a higher-resolution through-wall system for spatial target localization. It supports tactical planning but must be interpreted alongside visual, acoustic and intelligence information.
Technology guide
Radar life detection systems, vibration or audio tools, cameras and through-wall radar contribute different observations to a controlled search. They do not independently confirm identity, condition or survivability. Materials, voids, distance, moisture, environmental noise and responder movement can create missed or ambiguous indications.
A search and rescue life detector should therefore be procured with a sector plan, operator training, artifact control, repeated scanning, evidence marking and a clear handoff into incident command. Restricted sensing for tactical use remains a separate end-use and authority question.

Radar can indicate gross or small periodic movement when material, distance and background motion allow useful signal separation.
Selection note: Test representative materials and no-target artifacts, not only a cooperative moving person in an open room.
Multiple sensing modes can help a trained team compare indications that arise from different physical mechanisms.
Selection note: Preserve each source observation and define how conflicting evidence changes the search priority.
Portable or imaging radar may support qualified users where legal authority, procedure and end use allow it.
Selection note: Evaluate material, angle, range, field of view, privacy, policy and evidence retention for the exact scenario.
Aerial systems can document sectors, access and visible hazards or carry a compatible sensing payload.
Selection note: Separate broad scene assessment from claims about detection through rubble or structure.
Document likely wall, rubble or soil composition, moisture and search distance.
Consider whether the target may be stationary and which secondary signals can corroborate detection.
Plan search lanes, evidence logging, repeat scans and communication with rescue or command personnel.
