Aether Scout is an unarmed, long-range FPV (First-Person View) drone designed to assist search and rescue teams in locating injured or lost individuals in remote or hazardous environments.
Combining advanced aerial technology with humanitarian purpose, the drone provides a live video feed, GPS navigation, and a lightweight medical payload system capable of delivering essential first-aid items when ground teams cannot immediately reach the scene.
This project represents our club’s commitment to exploring how engineering and robotics can directly serve public safety and disaster response efforts.
Designed for rugged terrain and challenging conditions, Aether Scout aims to extend the reach of rescuers, reduce response times, and help save lives.
In future development phases, we plan to integrate features like thermal imaging, night operations capability, and audible signaling systems, while working alongside local search and rescue organizations to test the drone in real-world scenarios.
