Mango
An emergency response platform that uses autonomous zeppelins equipped with thermal imaging 'swords' to detect survivors trapped near volcanic eruptions by cutting through smoke and ash to identify body heat against magma backgrounds. The system provides real-time location data to ground teams when traditional helicopters can't fly due to ash clouds.
The Wow Moment
A rescue team watches a tablet screen as a zeppelin silently glides above an eruption zone where zero visibility exists. Suddenly, thermal signatures pop onto the screen - the system has detected three heat patterns through the ash cloud. It distinguishes human body heat from the magma below, displaying precise coordinates. The team moves toward the exact location, finding survivors who would have been invisible to any other search method.
