Title: 360 Scan
Post by: CFDCar27 on August 06, 2015, 09:42:19 AM
It is great to hear others are getting into the business of 360 scan. The 360 scan is a great tool, I would like to see HB make some minor changes to it that would really enhance the use of it in the SAR arena. Many SAR teams are using this technology because it is more affordable and many of the teams can't afford $20,000 dollars for a once piece of equipment. I do think the 360 can be used in the initial search phase when witness  interviews are done correctly. This summer alone I have participated in three searches that would have benefited from the use of a 360 scan. We not only use 360 for searching but it is used to direct divers to the target. My divers work on a communication line and with the 360 I can walk my diver to the target and tell him just how far they are from the target and what obstacles are in front of them. It has allowed us to see under floating docks in areas where we could not operate side can. I have tried to talk to our local HB rep but I don't think there is a lot of interest in the 360 scan for the SAR community.
