HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / April 20, 2015 / Valmie Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS: VMRI) announces it will begin to explore adapting its unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology for search and rescue missions. The company is reviewing the official Standard Operating Procedures for search and rescue developed by Search With Aerial RC Multirotor (SWARM), a worldwide volunteer search and rescue network of drone pilots dedicated to looking for missing persons.

“Search on foot and manned aerial search are very costly. Highly maneuverable UAV’s have the potential to add invaluable support to these critical missions for a fraction of the expense and the risk,” said Gerald B. Hammack, President and CEO of Valmie. “These missions also will help demonstrate the huge potential for the use of UAV’s in daily life.”

One drone can search an extensive area in minutes that a ground crew could take hours to cover. In addition to locating victims, a UAV could potentially be used to lower a walkie-talkie, GPS tracking unit, medical supplies and/or water to a stranded victim in advance of a rescue crew.

One of Valmie’s focus areas is agriculture, where drones are expected to have the greatest economic impact. Vamie is developing a customized system using its drone technology and its AIMD (Autonomous Intelligence for Mobile Devices) software platform for agricultural applications. Valmie plans to collaborate with a Jalisco, Mexico-based crop monitoring and data collection company that provides services to megafarms located primarily in Central and South America. As part of the relationship, Valmie will supply unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s), fully integrated ground control software and cloud services customized for the company’s customer base.

“As Valmie develops its agricultural platform, modifying our equipment for search and rescue purposes is a natural extension for our technology and Valmie will be honored to give back to the community by providing this essential support,” said Hammack.
