Raven Tech's system combines detection, autonomous flight, and net-based capture to neutralize unauthorized drones. Once an intruder is detected, the system deploys a drone to intercept and safely transport the rogue drone to a designated location.

Air Force combat search-and-rescue, also known as CSAR, is the military's force dedicated to rescuing downed aircrew. Combat search-and-rescue missions are dangerous under the best of conditions, ideally on dark nights with no moonlight.

If you feel the ice cracking beneath you before a fall, prepare yourself for the shock of cold water. The shock of the water causes immediate changes in breathing and heart rate, so it is not to be underestimated.

The Ontario Provincial Police responded shortly before 10 p.m. near Robin's Point Road in the township of Tay, Ont. for reports of a snowmobile that had gone through the ice.

The RECCO system is a search-and-rescue technology designed to help professionals locate people buried in avalanches or lost in the outdoors. Today, it is integrated into millions of pieces of ski and outdoor equipment worldwide.

FireDrone is an aerogel-covered that can help firefighters in rescue missions by surveying for victims inside burning buildings. The assistive device aims to be the 'flying eye' in extreme environments so humans can be sure of who are and what is inside a site before going in. The FireDrone flying machine resembles a small quadcopter with its four arms and spinning propellers, but unlike regular drones, the parts of the device are built to survive high temperatures.

Imagine being a ski patrol responder racing toward an injured skier on a freezing mountain. Your hands are gripping poles, your attention is split between the terrain and the emergency ahead, and your radio crackles with critical information. Now imagine if you could access maps, communicate with your team, and log vital data without ever touching a device. That's exactly what the Argus AR Helmet promises to deliver.

"If you're on the water, all you hear is the wind and the waves. And if you're on the snow, you hardly hear anything-just that track spinning through the snow at incredible speeds," says Taiga Motors cofounder and CEO Sam Bruneau.

I'd been stopped maybe 2 seconds and the slope started to move. I pivoted to straightline but was swamped-no speed, no chance. The impact was like stepping off a curb in front of a 40 Tonne truck doing 60 mph.

Being a snow groomer can be seen as a thankless job at a ski resort; however, it is one of many jobs that must be done and is vital to operations. It involves long nights, being alone in a snowcat, and pushing snow around the mountain for eight or more hours. However, for the right person, it has also been described as one of the best jobs on the mountain.

The unidentified skier was seen dangling from the lift as a pair of snowboarders gripped her arms while they ascended the slopes at the Southern California winter resort. Ski patrol members waited to assist the skier when they pulled into the station, according to KTLA.

Cornice collapses can be incredibly dangerous, having the potential to crush people, pull them down mountains and potentially over rocky cliffs, and cause larger avalanches. Professional skier Josh Daiek doesn't seem to be impacted by cornices as much as a regular skier or snowboarder would be, though. This incredible line starts with a heart pounding moment as he looked over the edge.

This video serves as yet another reminder of how important it is to ski or snowboard with a buddy if you're planning to head off trail, even just to pop into the woods. While trail hazards might be well marked at some resorts, you can run into hidden rocks, trees, or even holes no matter where you are. That's especially true outside of the country, where off-piste terrain isn't necessarily mitigated like it is in North America.
