Mundus Group, Inc. Studies Avalanche Control and Rescue Potential With UAV VTOL Drone
06 Agosto 2010 - 6:39PM
Mundus Group (Pink Sheets:MNDP) subsidiary AirStar and its
proprietary Industrial Drone UAV SL 4.0 (Super Lift) will provide a
stable delivery system for a number of technologies and industries
including Avalanche Control and Rescue. Mundus is interested in the
market potential for AirStar's Industrial Drone in ski resorts and
mountain communities around the world because of the AirStar UAV
ability to provide real time assessment of snow pack and ice
conditions, which could become potentially dangerous avalanches.
AirStar UAV remote controlled Drones can be equipped with a
range of technologies including air guns that can fire a precision
charge that would cause a controlled avalanche after the area has
been cleared. AirStar Search & Rescue would be the first
response after an avalanche occurs with deployment of on board
thermal imaging, infrared and ground penetrating radar that could
get to the area quickly and hover over victims buried beneath the
snow whose body heat would provide a life saving means of detection
by allowing search & rescue teams to search beneath the snow by
"seeing" the skiers body heat signature with thermal imaging.
2010 Avalanche Disaster
February 8th, 2010 the Salang avalanches consist of a series of
at least 36 avalanches that struck the southern approach to the
Salang tunnel north of Kabul, Afghanistan on February 8 and 9 in
2010, burying over two miles of road, killing at least 172 people
and trapping over 2,000 travelers. They were caused by a freak
storm in the Hindukush mountains located in Afghanistan.
On February 7, 10 people were killed in across Kandahar Province
according to the Afghan Red Crescent Society (ARCS). Najibullah
Barith, ARCS's director in Kandahar complained of lack of the local
and national resources. 11 were killed by avalanches in Farah,
Bamyan, Ghor and Daykundi provinces between the 4th and the 8th a
spokesman of the Afghanistan National Disasters Management
Authority said. The Afghan flash floods and avalanches left 20
others dead in the rest of the country on February 8th, 2010.
May 2, 2010 Avalanches claim five victims in one
day
Five people were killed in avalanches across Austria in one day
back in May of this year 2010. Two snowboarders from Upper Austria
died at the Werfenweng ski area in Salzburg's Pongau after going
off-piste. Rescuers found their bodies covered by 30 centimeters of
snow. The victims were a 28-year-old man from Scharding and a
25-year-old man from Esternberg. A 22-year-old German man from
Baden-Wurttemberg died yesterday evening at Feldkirch provincial
hospital in Vorarlberg after he had spent 45 minutes buried in a
meter and a half of snow in an avalanche at the Kanzelwand-Fellhorn
ski area in the province's Kleinwalsertal.
He was carried more than 600 meters in a wave of snow when the
avalanche occurred. Rescuers needed more time than usual to dig him
out since some of them had to stabilize snow above the site since
there was a danger another avalanche would occur. It was the third
avalanche death in Vorarlberg in two days. Marion G., a 29-year-old
from Upper Austria, died after spending an hour under the snow
after being caught in an avalanche at the Kasberg ski area in Upper
Austria's Gmunden district. Rescuers said she did not have a
location device on her person. An avalanche killed a German woman
from Bavaria at the Hochfugen ski area in Tyrol's Ziller Valley.
Her male companion was able to call rescuers only hours after its
occurrence shortly after midday because he could not access his
mobile-phone until after he had finally managed to free himself
from the snow as darkness fell. Rescuers found the woman's body at
9pm. There were five other avalanches May 4, 2010 at Vorarlberg ski
areas in which five winter sportsmen were caught but were not
injured.
Long-term statistics show that an average of 26 people die in
avalanches in Austria annually.
