Valmie (VMRI) Moves Forward with Search and Rescue Collaboration, Prepares for Deployment

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2015 / Valmie Resources Inc. (OTCMKTS: VMRI) has begun talks with the drone program director of a prominent search and rescue (SAR) organization regarding hardware expectations in preparation for developing and deploying its V-1 Drone for SAR missions.

The two entities are exploring the features that will allow the V-1 Drone to be advantageous for SAR operations, such as maximum battery life. Camera, searchlight and inclement weather are a drain on a drone’s already limited battery life and shorten its time in the air.

Valmie signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) last month with this organization for the purpose of working with the group to adopt Valmie’s drone technology for humanitarian applications and is now working out the details of the collaboration. To that end, both organizations are preparing their respective exemption requests under Section 333 of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, which allows civil operation of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).

“The FAA has already begun approving small drones to conduct crisis response services. We expect them to continue to loosen their restrictions going forward as the industry demonstrates that small UAS can be operated safely in urban environments and provide great economic and humanitarian benefits,” said Gerald B. Hammack, President and CEO of Valmie. “We are very encouraged about the enormous potential of drones for search and recovery and about our coming ability to support communities during times of need.”

Through this collaboration, Valmie joins the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) community already on board to help SAR organizations worldwide. UAV’s are supporting SAR efforts in critical missions from finding a lost child to locating victims during earthquake recovery operations. A drone hobbyist in California who was instrumental in finding a missing senior last year is building a worldwide search and rescue support group of drone pilots called Search with Aerial Multirotor or SWARM. The network, today more than 1,100 pilots strong, is now in nearly 50 countries.
