Mouser's Next Project: Drone Platform For Search And Rescue

Dallas- and Fort Worth-based electronics distributor Mouser Electronics said Thursday that it is launching a new project, to develop a search and rescue drone platform. The new project--being run in conjunction with Easy Aerial and through its celebrity marketing efforts with former Mythbusters' host Grant Imahara--will revolve around controlling multiple drones for use in search and rescue operations, including gathering information such as video, heat imaging, chemical detection, and radiation. Mouser has been running a series of projects to spur engineer interest and awareness of the company; the last big "project" out of the company's series revolved around "superhero technology".
