Life Victim Detectors

Life victim detectors locate living persons trapped in collapsed structures, avalanche debris, disaster rubble, and concealed spaces by identifying physiological signals — respiration, heartbeat, and involuntary micro-movement — that distinguish a living body from surrounding static material. These instruments give urban search and rescue teams, military operators, and disaster response units the ability to confirm survivor presence and direct extraction efforts to the highest-priority locations first.

Radar-based victim detectors use ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radar operating between 1 and 10 GHz to penetrate concrete, brick, wood, and soil up to several meters thick. The radar detects chest wall displacement from breathing — typically 0.3 to 10mm of surface movement at 12 to 20 breath cycles per minute — and cardiac micro-vibration at 60 to 100 beats per minute. Signal processing algorithms separate these biological signatures from environmental clutter, wind-induced debris movement, and operator movement. Furthermore, the Findsheng FS-3000 detects breathing through walls up to 20 meters thick and open-air distances to 30 meters — displaying a real-time breathing waveform on an integrated screen with a 2.5-second detection response time.

Portable battery-powered designs support fully cordless deployment with runtimes of 4 to 8 hours. Operating temperature ranges of -20°C to +55°C cover deployment in both cold northern earthquake scenarios in AJK and KPK and hot summer urban collapse environments in Karachi and Lahore. Weight on man-portable radar units stays below 5kg for single-operator carry into active rescue sites.

These instruments serve Pakistan’s Rescue 1122 disaster response teams, National Disaster Management Authority urban search and rescue units, Pakistan Army engineering and rescue formations, Civil Defence departments in earthquake-prone KPK and AJK, and Pakistan Navy damage control teams requiring confirmed life detection in structurally compromised vessels and buildings.

Tactical Supply Pakistan supplies life victim detectors for urban search and rescue, earthquake response, and military casualty location procurement across Pakistan.
