Search and Rescue Software
Run search and rescue operations with one shared operational picture and real-time visibility across teams. Smart CAD reduces confusion, prevents duplicated effort, and keeps everyone aligned from first alert to debrief.

Why GINA Software?
Why search and rescue teams rely on Smart CAD
Clear, shared operational picture
Command, dispatch, and field teams work from the same live overview of what is happening. Information stays consistent across all participants, reducing conflicting updates and repeated verification during critical moments. As the situation evolves, teams stay aligned without relying on manual coordination to keep everyone in sync.
Faster progress with less duplication
Search activities are organized and visible across the operation, so teams spend less time coordinating status and more time covering priority areas. Clear ownership makes it obvious what is assigned, what is in progress, and what is complete. This reduces repeated coverage, exposes gaps earlier, and improves overall efficiency during long missions.
Safer operations for responders
Live location visibility and aerial support help teams avoid unnecessary exposure during search and rescue missions. Command can confirm movement, monitor progress, and use drone insight to assess areas before committing ground teams. This reduces risk in low visibility, difficult terrain, and rapidly changing conditions.

Core capabilities for coordinated search and rescue operations
Multi-agency coordination
Coordinate dispatch, command, field units, partner agencies, and volunteers in one shared incident view. Define roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines from the start, then maintain them as the mission evolves. Reduce delays caused by fragmented updates, unclear ownership, and manual handovers between teams and shifts.
GINA Mobile apps for field teams
Extend the operational picture to responders in the field using GINA Mobile on tablets and smartphones. Teams can receive assignments, view mapped zones, update status, and share key incident information without relying on voice-only coordination. Support faster execution and cleaner handovers by keeping field updates structured and tied to the incident record.
Real-time unit tracking
Track teams, vehicles, and mission-critical assets live on a single map. Maintain continuous visibility into who is where, who is moving, and who is stationary, with status that reflects operational reality. Improve routing, allocation, and safety oversight by making resource decisions based on current positions, not outdated radio updates.
Aerial and thermal search support
Bring drone operations into the incident workflow instead of managing them as a separate activity. Use thermal drone feeds to identify heat signatures, support night and low-visibility searches, and confirm sector coverage faster. Reduce responder exposure by validating areas from above before committing ground teams into difficult terrain or hazardous zones.
Safety zones and geofencing
Define search sectors, restricted zones, hazard perimeters, and safe staging areas directly on the map. Use geofencing to trigger alerts when units enter risk areas, cross sector boundaries, or deviate from approved routes and assignments. Strengthen safety control and operational discipline without adding manual monitoring load to the command team.
Shared operational log
Capture a complete operational timeline of actions, decisions, movements, and status changes throughout the mission. Keep communications and updates linked to the incident record for fast search and full traceability. Maintain continuity in low connectivity conditions with automatic synchronization when signal returns, and generate after-action reports without reconstructing events manually.
