Probability of detection guides search and rescue effort
Professor Paul Stager led lab and field studies with 50 SARtechs to model how likely it is to locate crashed aircraft. Using simulated crashes and rapid slide reviews, the research aligns lab results with real-world outcomes and supports SARtech training. SARSAT satellites aid pinpointing crashes but do not replace humans. Canada maintains four rescue bases and research is funded by National Defence.
