The huge loss of life at sea we have seen in the recent years and the technology that can help minimize this loss is the theme of the seminar. Advanced SAR methods have been developed by leading research institutes and companies dedicated to underwater search. Techsurge 2016 “SAR at Sea” is the 1st of this expert seminar / discussion which will have renowned speakers from around the world, including India & Indian SAR experts. Attendees of this event come face to face with industry expert and learn about technologies that can enable SAR agencies to work more effectively and efficiently in a way that can save lives. The final objective is to remove the S out of SAR.
