Robotics Centre brings the Smith Myers award-winning ARTEMIS™ software suite to the FLIR SkyRanger™ R70 and R80D SkyRaider™ platforms with ECHO. ECHO extends the FLIR next generation payload family with a fully integrated low SWaP-C package for cellular handset geolocation and communication (2G, 3G, and 4G, with 5G in development).
ECHO turns any cellular handset into a location beacon, even when there is no cellular network present. Handsets can be accurately located and mapped individually or on a mass scale. Communicate directly with the located handset(s) via SMS. ECHO is designed to anonymise personal information making it quickly deployable.
ECHO can be used as a stand-alone system or in combination with other Smith Myers supported platforms (e.g. body-warn, vehicle-mounted, manned aircraft solutions) networked together to a central command centre for full situation awareness.
ECHO supports Smith Myers’ common web-based multiplatform user interface with no requirement for re-training between platforms.
ECHO features ECHO CNX™ a FLIR Mission Control System (MCS) plugin designed to provide SkyRanger R70 and R80D SkyRaider pilots enhanced target discovery, acquisition, and geolocation during ECHO missions.

Search and Rescue
Quickly locate the mobile phone of a person in distress, whether operating in local network coverage, poor network coverage, or no coverage at all.
Border Security
In areas of particular focus draw a geofence to quickly identify and locate handsets in a specific areas, ignoring handsets outside of the geofence. Used in areas with complex terrain, water channels, borders, natural disasters, etc.
Natural DisasterÂ
Quickly locate and map all mobile phones in a disaster area. Send text messages to all mobile phones in the area. Receive text messages and calls from those who need assistance.
Situational AwarenessÂ
Maintain situational awareness where traditional SAR sensors can fail. In addition to those in distress, SAR teams can be equipped with Artemis enabled mobile phones allowing for real-time team mapping and communication through the ECHO system.
In partnership with Smith Myers, Robotics Centre leverages over 30-years of specialization in design, development, manufacturing and support of application-specific cellular handset geolocation for Law Enforcement and Search and Rescue operations.
