Una, You are correct about UAV's. For the most part they are used in
military operations when it is too dangerous to send low flying manned
aircraft. More information about the usage of unmanned aircraft can be
located at DOD related websites. I know of no self-deploying SAR
resource that utilizes UAV's
Although it is possible that an "Air Drone" could be used in civilian
(non-military) operations, it is very unlikely. Most States that do
utilize air searches, generally deploy Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Airwings.
CAP aircraft and personnel provide both eyes in the sky and provide
enhanced communications capabilities.
