"Emergency aid from the air", Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , 20.5.2022
The LARUS-PRO project funded by the BMBF in the course of the Civil Security research programme has been mentioned in an article of the national newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as one of the leading projects in Germany which use drones for rescue missions in medical emergencies, forest fires, floodings and other desasters.
Citation from the article (translated from the original): "In Germany, there are several start-ups that are ahead of the game. One lighthouse project in sea rescue is called Larus-Pro. Researchers from TU Dortmund and RWTH Aachen send a drone they developed out to sea to locate shipwrecked people. The drones are designed to cope with strong winds and gusts in the North Sea or Baltic Sea and quickly detect people in the water so that the rescue boats can head directly for the shipwrecked people with the help of the exact coordinates. On land, too, the drones could provide an accurate overview in the search for victims, in forest fires, natural disasters, accidents and disasters."
While the LARUS project was coordinated by the TU Dortmund, the successor LARUS-PRO is coordinated by the German Maritime Search and Rescue Service DGzRS. The following video shows the results of the LARUS project, which was completed in 2019: Link to youtube-video.
