Drone finds a missing person in the Carolinas

When it comes to search-and-rescue, drones are one of the most invaluable tools we currently have. drones can reach vantage points previously only available via helicopter—which costs time as well as money—and can be modified with thermal imaging cameras, live-streaming cameras, and more. Simply put, if you were lost in the mountains or other difficult terrain, you’d want the emergency service in charge of finding you to use a drone as a part of their arsenal to help locate you. 

Recently, A North Carolina resident got lost in a cornfield in Asheboro. Once a UAV (drone) was implemented into the search, it took less than 30 minutes to locate the missing individual.
