SEARCH

System for Emergency Assistance, Response, and Communication Hub (SEARCH) is specifically devised for aiding coastal regions of Dakshina Kannada during emergencies or disasters. As a cutting-edge center for rescue, communication and monitoring. SEARCH represents a pioneering achievement globally. It distinguishes itself as the first initiative worldwide to seamlessly integrate autonomous marine vessels, aerial vehicles, and UHF/VHF/HF HAM radio stations within a single hub contained in portable cabins, complete with solar panels. These portable units function as dynamic command centers, ensuring operational flexibility in diverse environments. Notably, SEARCH comprises dedicated containers for communication, dry dock (for marine vessel maintenance), recharge zone (for drones and operators), and hardware hub (housing tools and inventory). SEARCH extends its applications beyond disaster response. Its scope spans monitoring water and air quality, observing coastal erosion patterns, assessing mangrove health, and supplying crucial coastal data to CRZ officials upon request. Furthermore, SEARCH assumes the role of an educational hub catering to a diverse audience, including industry professionals, district administrators, academics, students, and HAM/Amateur radio enthusiasts. This expansion of its purpose positions SEARCH not only as a disaster management tool but as a comprehensive resource contributing to environmental monitoring, educational initiatives, and collaborative efforts across various sectors.
