Animal
Recovery
When an animal goes missing, every hour counts. Our FLIR-equipped drone detects body heat across large areas of terrain — day or night — giving you the fastest possible path to locating lost livestock, pets, deer, and elk.
How It Works
See What the
Eye Can't
Animals emit body heat that stands out clearly against the surrounding environment on a thermal camera — especially at dawn, dusk, and nighttime when ambient temperatures drop. Our DJI Matrice 4 Thermal RTK with FLIR payload can systematically cover hundreds of acres in a single flight, flagging heat signatures in real time.
Whether you're a rancher searching open range for missing cattle, a pet owner whose dog bolted into the desert, or a hunter tracking a downed elk, we can mobilize quickly and cover ground that would take a ground crew hours to search on foot.
Who We Help
What We
Search For
Livestock
Cattle, horses, goats, and sheep that have strayed from pasture or become separated during transport. Thermal imaging cuts search time dramatically across open range.
Lost Pets
Dogs and cats lost in rural or semi-rural areas. A drone can cover miles of terrain in minutes, detecting body heat even in dense brush or low-light conditions.
Deer & Elk
Injured or downed game animals after a hunt, or wildlife monitoring for ranchers and land managers. FLIR thermal imaging reveals heat signatures invisible to the naked eye.
Common Scenarios
- Cattle or horses missing from pasture
