RECCO, a global leader in rescue technology, today announced the continued expansion of its RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector network with new deployments in Prince George, British Columbia; Riverside County, California; and the state of New York.
These additions bring the total number of RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector installations worldwide to over 60, across more than 15 countries. The RECCO SAR Helicopter Detector allows rescue teams to search for missing people equipped with RECCO reflectors over vast terrain from the air, dramatically increasing the area that can be searched in a given time.
“Every new deployment of the SAR Helicopter Detector extends the safety net for outdoor enthusiasts,” said Fredrik Schmid, CEO of RECCO. “These three new installations across North America demonstrate the growing recognition among rescue organizations that aerial search capability is a critical tool in modern SAR operations.”
