Recco’s new SAR is a helicopter-based detector that can be used to search huge areas for people in distress in the shortest time possible. A small reflector, that we have integrated into our TRAD climbing backpacks until winter 21/22, is required for visibility. This way we can ensure that you can be located quickly and provide you with the best possible protection, no matter the season. The SAR system is already being used in many areas.
A complete list and map of the areas in which the SAR is currently in use can be found at www.recco.technology
Recco System
Speedy rescue – 365 days a year
The RECCO reflector is located on the lid compartment at all ORTOVOX TRAD backpack models. (only until winter 21/22)
Anywhere
The system works in mountain areas that are difficult to access, on the rock face, on glaciers, in snow, on water and in wooded areas.
Always
If it’s possible to fly, you can use SAR 365 days a year, both in summer and in winter.
Speed
Speed counts when rescuing. SAR can be used at a speed of 130 km/h and has a search area width of 200 meters. This means that a square kilometer can be searched in 3-4 minutes, which is equivalent to 30 soccer fields per minute.
Always ready for use
Reflectors do not require activation or batteries. They weigh no more than 4 grams and work passively – they merely reflect the SAR detector’s radar search signal.
