CENTUM stands at the forefront of developing aerial technologies for emergency management, security, and defense sectors. Our innovative systems are crafted to enhance the effectiveness of critical UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) and drone operations, encompassing SAR (search and rescue), firefighting, disaster response, and surveillance missions.
Our Lifeseeker phone detection technology has empowered SAR teams globally, aiding over 35 clients and contributing to hundreds of successful rescue operations.
lifeseeker Mini – Mobile Phone geolocation System
Advanced mobile phone detection for uavs and drones
The Lifeseeker mini serves as a mobile phone detection tool tailored for emergency responders and SAR teams.This system transforms common mobile devices into emergency beacons, significantly increasing the chances of locating victims and missing individuals when every second counts.
With its low-SWaP (size, weight, and power) design, this SAR payload can be seamlessly integrated with various small UAS platforms, facilitating efficient rescue operations while conserving manpower and reducing operational expenses. Extensive search areas can be covered in mere minutes, and the Lifeseeker Mini is capable of detecting phones even when buried under snow, making it particularly useful for avalanche rescues.
Cutting-edge Technology for Search and Rescue
The Lifeseeker Mini is a vital component for aerial SAR operations, functioning effectively in both day and night conditions, even in adverse weather. It is indeed compatible with all network types, including 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G (NSA), and can operate without any network coverage. Users can filter target phones by IMSI/IMEI numbers, country, or network operator codes.
The Lifeseeker Mini is agnostic to phone brands, providing precise geolocation capabilities within five meters, thanks to our proprietary algorithms. Additionally, it can function as a dialog relay, enabling voice or SMS exchanges between rescuers and those in distress.
User-Pleasant Interface & Training Tools
The Lifeseeker Mini is operated through a straightforward web-based interface accessible via tablets, laptops, or smartphones. This user-friendly system requires minimal training, allowing any team member to utilize it without needing extensive technical knowledge of cellular communications.
Moreover, Lifeseeker Center offers a robust simulation and debriefing software tool for training SAR teams.
Real-World Effectiveness of Mobile Phone Detection
The Lifeseeker platform has been rigorously tested across diverse real-world scenarios, with both civilian and military applications in over 10 countries.
Developed in collaboration with top SAR organizations, including Swiss aerial rescue experts Rega, Lifeseeker continually evolves based on user feedback, ensuring it remains at the cutting edge of search and rescue technology.
The Lifeseeker technology is also available in two additional specialized formats: SAR for helicopters and SAR XL for fixed-wing aircraft and extended-range helicopters.
In recognition of its innovation, Lifeseeker Mini secured first place in the Technology — Enabling Components & Peripherals category at the 2022 AUVSI XCELLENCE awards.
