Search design
Create grids, planning segments, and patterns such as expanding square and creeping line.
Probability planning
Work with POA and POD methods, including Mattson, O’Connor, proportional, combined, trail-based, and statistical approaches.
Aircraft search
Use altitude and terrain context for airborne beacon line-of-sight planning rings.
Distress information
Capture structured aircraft distress beacon reports, including first and last signal details.
In practice

The workspace shares its records with related areas of the incident, so an update can inform the next task or decision.
EstimateDefine the last known information and candidate search areas.
PlanCompare search priorities and generate map-based work.
LearnBring search results and new clues back into the next allocation decision.
