good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Virginia Task Force Ones
welcome to Virginia Task Force Ones
welcome to Virginia Task Force Ones urban search and rescue training center
urban search and rescue training center
urban search and rescue training center shortly you’re gonna see two of our
shortly you’re gonna see two of our
shortly you’re gonna see two of our highly trained technical search
highly trained technical search
highly trained technical search specialists actually using the finder
specialists actually using the finder
specialists actually using the finder device to assist them in finding a
device to assist them in finding a
device to assist them in finding a person that’s buried inside our rubble
person that’s buried inside our rubble
person that’s buried inside our rubble pile FEMA had identified a problem with
pile FEMA had identified a problem with
pile FEMA had identified a problem with increasing the speed of searches in mass
increasing the speed of searches in mass
increasing the speed of searches in mass disasters like Haiti or Sandy where they
disasters like Haiti or Sandy where they
disasters like Haiti or Sandy where they would like to be able to more quickly go
would like to be able to more quickly go
would like to be able to more quickly go through and detect victims buried in
through and detect victims buried in
through and detect victims buried in rubble well this project finder began as
rubble well this project finder began as
rubble well this project finder began as a lot of projects do as science we
a lot of projects do as science we
a lot of projects do as science we invested in some technology that would
invested in some technology that would
invested in some technology that would be helpful for measuring the surface
be helpful for measuring the surface
be helpful for measuring the surface waves on the earth also for detecting
waves on the earth also for detecting
waves on the earth also for detecting spacecraft and as they move out in the
spacecraft and as they move out in the
spacecraft and as they move out in the solar system and some engineers noticed
solar system and some engineers noticed
solar system and some engineers noticed that that’s the same technology that we
that that’s the same technology that we
that that’s the same technology that we could also use to detect human heart
could also use to detect human heart
could also use to detect human heart beats like a detect microwave heart
beats like a detect microwave heart
beats like a detect microwave heart beats that’s a sure sign of a victim as
beats that’s a sure sign of a victim as
beats that’s a sure sign of a victim as a heartbeat it uses microwave radar to
a heartbeat it uses microwave radar to
a heartbeat it uses microwave radar to scan the pile well actually go through
scan the pile well actually go through
scan the pile well actually go through the different cement wood frame houses
the different cement wood frame houses
the different cement wood frame houses pretty much anything it’ll go ahead and
pretty much anything it’ll go ahead and
pretty much anything it’ll go ahead and scan it pulls back in like a regular
scan it pulls back in like a regular
scan it pulls back in like a regular radar it’ll go ahead and bring back the
radar it’ll go ahead and bring back the
radar it’ll go ahead and bring back the signal and we’re measuring the micro
signal and we’re measuring the micro
signal and we’re measuring the micro movements or small moons of the chest
movements or small moons of the chest
movements or small moons of the chest wall from the heartbeat and from the
wall from the heartbeat and from the
wall from the heartbeat and from the respirations even from the the from your
respirations even from the the from your
respirations even from the the from your head when you have the arteries in your
head when you have the arteries in your
head when you have the arteries in your head the biggest advantage of this is
head the biggest advantage of this is
head the biggest advantage of this is number one is that it detects
number one is that it detects
number one is that it detects unconscious and unresponsive victims the
unconscious and unresponsive victims the
unconscious and unresponsive victims the other advantage of this is that
other advantage of this is that
other advantage of this is that potentially you could have a number of
potentially you could have a number of
potentially you could have a number of people who are out collecting the data
people who are out collecting the data
people who are out collecting the data and all bringing it back to search team
and all bringing it back to search team
and all bringing it back to search team so you could potentially have multiple
so you could potentially have multiple
so you could potentially have multiple radars gathering their information
radars gathering their information
radars gathering their information together so you can search the site
together so you can search the site
together so you can search the site faster and have unskilled people using
faster and have unskilled people using
faster and have unskilled people using the finder device and finding live
the finder device and finding live
the finder device and finding live victims that don’t have tremendous
victims that don’t have tremendous
victims that don’t have tremendous amounts of skill using canines
amounts of skill using canines
amounts of skill using canines you don’t have canines or that are the
you don’t have canines or that are the
you don’t have canines or that are the listening devices or the cameras one of
listening devices or the cameras one of
listening devices or the cameras one of the time comes pulled out turn it on
the time comes pulled out turn it on
the time comes pulled out turn it on very easy to use and they can detect
very easy to use and they can detect
very easy to use and they can detect what someone there or not this team
what someone there or not this team
what someone there or not this team working with here is the best of the
working with here is the best of the
working with here is the best of the best

best Fairfax County task force one that’s
Fairfax County task force one that’s
Fairfax County task force one that’s probably the best in the world and we’re
probably the best in the world and we’re
probably the best in the world and we’re working with them you know because they
working with them you know because they
working with them you know because they get a lot of practice they go
get a lot of practice they go
get a lot of practice they go international
the first responders have given us a lot
the first responders have given us a lot of useful feedback they’ve actually been
of useful feedback they’ve actually been
of useful feedback they’ve actually been good because they’ve been very critical
good because they’ve been very critical
good because they’ve been very critical in terms of identifying things that just
in terms of identifying things that just
in terms of identifying things that just make it less usable than they would like
make it less usable than they would like
make it less usable than they would like and we’ve responded that and changed the
and we’ve responded that and changed the
and we’ve responded that and changed the prototype in response to that do I see
prototype in response to that do I see
prototype in response to that do I see on here to know that actually there is a
on here to know that actually there is a
on here to know that actually there is a communication established well any piece
communication established well any piece
communication established well any piece of equipment that helps us find victims
of equipment that helps us find victims
of equipment that helps us find victims we’ll be glad to take a look at and so
we’ll be glad to take a look at and so
we’ll be glad to take a look at and so this is just one piece of equipment
this is just one piece of equipment
this is just one piece of equipment that’s you know new to us and so we’re
that’s you know new to us and so we’re
that’s you know new to us and so we’re just you know taking a look at it
just you know taking a look at it
just you know taking a look at it evaluate this in general I think they’re
evaluate this in general I think they’re
evaluate this in general I think they’re encouraged by it it’s a game-changing
encouraged by it it’s a game-changing
encouraged by it it’s a game-changing technology it’s detects things a totally

toolbox the search and rescue personnel they are very focused on finding the
they are very focused on finding the
they are very focused on finding the victims and this is something that helps
victims and this is something that helps
victims and this is something that helps them do that they want to rescue people
