Forensic Analysis
Subject matters experts re-creation of a search and rescue incident where lives may have been lost or litigation is taking place.
Our team of experienced subject matter experts supports the detailed reconstruction of search and rescue incidents, including cases involving loss of life or ongoing legal proceedings. Based on latest available technology, we can examine all available data related to:
- Maritime incidents (capsize, missing person, illegal fishing and more)
- Aeronautical incidents (overdue aircraft, missing aircraft, wreckage analysis and more)
- Distress beacon detection (COSPAS-SARSAT, SPOT and other alerting devices)
and reconstruct an incident with the highest level of accuracy supported by scientific research, factual information and expert opinion. We have significant experience in the maritime realm by closely working with law firms worldwide who are representing families of lost loved ones lost at sea. We understand the complex environment associated with search and rescue activities and can easily interpret technical documents related to winds and currents, drift rates of objects in the water both forward and backward, survival times, vessel stability, meteorological conditions, survivability and more. We can investigate activities which took place during an incident and ensure they are in line with internationally approved procedures.
Our mission is an unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth.
Our mission is the relentless pursuit of the truth, achieved through a rigorous and methodical analysis of all available evidence. We examine and correlate a wide spectrum of materials—nautical and aeronautical charts, operational data, technical reports, witness testimonies, weather records, timelines, and supporting documentation—to reconstruct events with accuracy and clarity.
Our role is to present findings that are objective, transparent, and defensible. We do not advocate for a particular outcome; rather, we provide an impartial technical assessment that helps clarify facts, identify contributing factors, and evaluate plausible scenarios. Whether supporting the prosecution or the defense, our work is grounded in evidence-based analysis and professional judgment, offering guidance on the likely outcomes and risks associated with potential litigation.
We are not lawyers. We are search and rescue professionals, investigators, aviators, mariners, and analysts with more than 295 years of combined operational experience at sea and in the air. Our expertise is built on real-world missions, critical decision-making under pressure, and a deep understanding of how incidents unfold in complex and unforgiving environments. This operational perspective allows us to bridge the gap between theory and reality, ensuring that conclusions reflect what actually happens in real operations, not just what is assumed on paper.
