Balloon-Launched Periscope System
A balloon-carried flexible periscope camera that threads through collapsed buildings, letting first responders find survivors in places no human can reach.
The Wow Moment
A fire chief watches a tablet screen as the camera snakes 40 feet deep into a collapsed parking garage—suddenly a child's face appears, alive in an air pocket. The balloon's gentle blue glow is visible through a crack in the concrete, giving the rescue team an exact location to dig, cutting a 6-hour search to 20 minutes.
