Update time : 2025-05-30
On January 8, 2022, the Svalbard Islands in Norway encountered the strongest blizzard in 50 years. 12 members of the "Polaris" scientific research ship were trapped in the floating ice area of Horn Bay. The Norwegian special forces used the low - temperature enhanced RQ - 20B. The drone broke through the aurora interference by virtue of geomagnetic navigation and found the human body heat source at the bottom of the ice crack at 14:03. Then it carried out dual - mode delivery: the first round accurately airdropped Lifesaver® water purification capsules (the drop point error was 1.2 meters), and the second wave released UHF beacons to guide the rescue helicopter.


Equipment Breakthroughs:
◾ Lithium - sulfur battery maintains 95% capacity at - 40℃
◾ Wind resistance level reaches level 12 (54km/h gusts)
Rescue Efficiency: It only took 47 minutes from positioning to completing the airlift, setting a new polar rescue record (data source: NATO Rescue Center Report NOR - 22 - 011).
