Halo Rescue

Rapid-deploy survivor detection kit

Locate breathing survivors through smoke, concrete, and rubble before crews enter. Deploys in 90 seconds. Fully grid-independent — runs on its own power and generates its own signal source when building power is cut.

Critical difference from Halo Shield: grid-independent signal source

In a fire or collapse scenario, building power is cut — which means the home's WiFi router is offline. Halo Rescue ships with its own dedicated signal broadcast unit that replaces the building's router as the sensing illuminator. The kit brings its own radar. Nothing in the structure needs to be working.

Detection Capabilities

What Halo Rescue detects.


  • 01

    Breathing through concrete

    Detects respiratory movement through up to 30cm of concrete. Smoke, darkness, and debris have zero effect on the radio signal.

  • 02

    Room-level survivor location

    Identifies which room or zone a survivor is in. Multinode triangulation narrows position to roughly 1-2 meter zones.

  • 03

    Conscious vs. incapacitated

    Breathing present but no movement indicates an incapacitated survivor. Different extraction priority than conscious, mobile victims.

  • 04

    Occupant count

    How many people are in the structure. Confirms whether crews have located all survivors or if the building is fully evacuated.

  • 05

    Respiratory distress

    Abnormal breathing patterns — rapid, shallow, or irregular — flagged with separate alert. Prioritizes medical urgency for extraction order.

Deployment Timeline

90 seconds to live data.


T+0:00 — Arrive on scene

Open the case

Pelican 1650 opens. Everything is foam-nested and labeled. One person can deploy the full kit.

T+0:15 — Signal source online

Boot the signal unit

Dedicated WiFi broadcast unit powers on. Begins flooding the structure with sensing signal. Replaces the building's router entirely.

T+0:30 — Node deployment

Place the 8 sensor nodes

Tripods extend and lock in under 5 seconds each. Nodes clip on. Two per exterior wall for full perimeter coverage.

T+1:00 — Mesh online

Nodes connect automatically

All 8 nodes join the kit's hotspot and begin streaming CSI data to the command laptop.

T+1:30 — Live data

Survivor locations on screen

Dashboard shows occupant count, room zones, breathing status, and extraction priority before any crew enters the structure.

Mission Profiles

Built for these situations.

01 // Structure Fire

Pre-Entry Survivor Location

Know which rooms have living occupants before crews breach. Stop sending firefighters into rooms with no survivors. Direct extraction to the right location first.

02 // Building Collapse

Rubble Survivor Detection

Breathing detection through concrete, debris, and collapsed structure. Locate survivors who cannot call out. Prioritize extraction by breathing status and medical urgency.

03 // HAZMAT / Gas Event

No-Entry Occupant Confirmation

Confirm whether a structure is occupied before sending crews into a HAZMAT environment. Verify evacuation is complete without entering the hot zone.

04 // Earthquake Response

Multi-Structure Triage

Rapidly triage multiple damaged structures for survivor presence. Deploy, get data, redeploy in minutes. Prioritize rescue resources to confirmed-survivor locations.

05 // Wilderness SAR

Structure Search

Clear remote structures — cabins, outbuildings, vehicles — for survivor presence without physical entry. Works when building power has been out for days.

06 // Flood / Disaster

Evacuation Verification

Verify that evacuated structures are truly empty before controlled demolition, flooding, or other irreversible actions. Confirm no occupants remain.
