AIR MARINE Search & rescue
SAR AI COMPANION
Purpose-built intelligence for search and rescue
A contained environment you can trust
Built by SAR experts. Powered by AI you can rely on.
SAR Companion is a unique AI platform created specifically for Search and Rescue personnel working in Rescue Coordination Centres. Developed through an exclusive partnership between GCC Atlas (Kingdom of Bahrain) and IAMSAR Solutions (Canada), it combines advanced AI engineering with experienced SAR subject-matter expertise for real-time aeronautical and maritime needs.
A contained environment of official publications, SAR expertise, field testing, machine learning and continuous validation — built to support RCC professionals without replacing command responsibility or professional judgement.
A specialised AI platform
Two dedicated services
Mission-critical output demands controlled, credible inputs. SAR Companion pairs official-source decision support with continuous proficiency and readiness — both delivered as a subscription-based software-as-a-service.
Official-source decision support
Comprehensive answers to simple or complex queries, always supported by the applicable references — drawn only from internationally approved publications.
Continuous proficiency and readiness
A tool of choice to continuously train RCC personnel, backed by the training library of IAMSAR Solutions of Canada and global SAR benchmarks.
The first of two dedicated services
Operational SAR AI
Official-source decision support for aeronautical and maritime Rescue Coordination Centres.
Controlled knowledge environment
SAR Companion is built around a contained library of official publications, subject-matter expertise, extensive field testing, machine learning and continuous validation. It avoids uncontrolled aggregation of internet sources and creates a transparent foundation for trustworthy output.
Approved sources. Referenced answers.
Operational AI uses only internationally approved publications. Simple or complex queries receive comprehensive answers supported by the applicable references.
No averaging between sources
The platform identifies discrepancies, prioritises official publications and presents clear information in a user-friendly format. This reduces the time required to locate critical guidance and supports faster, more effective decisions — it does not average answers between sources, it offers the right answer.
Maritime operational support
It supports drift calculations using IAMSAR Manual tables, available winds and currents at the nearest location, and approved methods for search area development. The objective is to maximise probability of detection, success and containment while giving RCC personnel clear, unambiguous information when survivability is decreasing with time.
The second of two dedicated services
Training SAR AI
Continuous proficiency and readiness — one recognised standard across shifts, roles and experience levels.
