ESCAMBIA SEARCH AND RESCUE (ESAR)

   ... so others may live.

Communications & Aviation —
Coordination from the Ground and Air

Every mission depends on clear communication—and the ability to see the bigger picture.

The ESAR Communications and Aviation Division manages real time coordination while providing aerial support through drone operations.

What We Do

  • Operate and monitor radio communications

  • Track teams and manage assignments

  • Coordinate between field units and command

  • Deploy drones for aerial search support

From ground coordination to aerial visibility, this division connects every part of the mission.

Aerial Support (Done Operations)

Drones give ESAR a critical advantage during search operations:

  • Rapid aerial assessment of large areas

  • Access to difficult or dangerous terrain

  • Support in locating missing persons

  • Enhanced situational awareness for teams on the ground.

Why It Matters

Search and rescue operations are time-critical and constantly changing.

This division helps:

  • Keep teams safe and informed

  • Improve coordination and response time

  • Expand search capability from the air

  • Increase the chances of a successful outcome.

Join The Team

Not all roles are in the field.

If you're interested in communications, coordination, or drone operations, this division offers a vital way to support ESAR's mission.
