SAR Calculator^©

The SAR Calculator^© application has been designed as an aid which may assist SAR practitioners with search planning calculations consistent with accepted search and rescue procedures and practices, and the methodologies adopted in the Australian National Search and Rescue Manual.

This search and rescue calculation and planning application does not replace the skill, formal training and knowledge of a qualified Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator (SMC), and should not be relied upon as a primary SMC decision making tool.

Please Note: SAR Calculator^© is a binary program file with the .exe extension. Some network administrators will not permit these files to be executed on their network and the file may need to be run from a standalone computer.
