Alivetor: UAV technology to save lives

Luisa Wagner | AZO Space of Innovation

After earthquakes, terrorist attacks and other disasters, thousands of people can be trapped inside collapsed houses, factories or public buildings. Using radar technology that penetrates various materials, Alivetor by Gradiant is able to find buried victims near the surface of rubble. Its radar sensor is mounted onto a UAV, allowing the solution to cover vast areas in a reasonable time.

In 2017, Gradiant won the ESNC Galicia challenge and has thereby profited from extensive local business support from the local organiser of the ESNC, the Vigo Free Trade Consortium, and its four partners. Furthermore, the team was also awarded second place at the E-GNSS Accelerator Bootcamp in Tallinn. As a result, the company can now benefit from an additional EUR 62,000 in incubation and acceleration services for its business.
