Purpose or Objective
This study is conducted on a comparative analysis between two of the highest performing drones
for search and research in mountainous terrain, the DJI Mavic 2 and the DJI Phantom 3Pro. By
comparing the strengths and weaknesses between the DJI Mavic 2 and the DJI Phantom 3Pro,
our research will determine the best drone for search and rescue teams in the Rocky Mountains.
Standards are judged based on highest 3D camera quality for mapping, easy navigation of
thermal imaging for victim recovery, payload capacity and flight range (battery life/range
capabilities). Mountainous terrain can be very difficult to navigate due to rough terrain, weather,
and lack of sunlight. Time is precious especially when a life is at stake, so search and rescue
teams must act fast. Therefore, it is extremely crucial to have the best drone for search and rescue
equipped for mountainous terrain. With the best drone for mountain terrain like the Rocky
Mountains, search and rescue teams can efficiently and safely locate any person to send a team to
recuse them before it is too late. The best drone equipped for mountainous terrain can give search
and rescue teams a tremendous advantage in recovering missing persons without wasting time
and putting other lives at risk. This study will also set a new standard for the Unmanned Aircraft
Systems (UAS) field by filling a gap in research. The clients for this study are search and rescue
teams and park rangers along with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to give legal
jurisdiction and ensure that all regulations are adhered to.
Out of current search and rescue (SAR) drones, the DJI Mavic 2 and the DJI Phantom 3Pro,
which has the most effective aerial cameras for 3D mapping (LiDAR), victim recovery (thermal
imaging), payload capacity, and flight range (battery life/range capabilities) for SAR teams in the
Rocky Mountains?
