Pet Rescue – Drone-Assisted Search (PSR)
Includes Thermal Imaging for Enhanced Detection
At J&E Tex Drones LLC, we use advanced thermal drone technology to locate missing pets quickly, safely, and efficiently across Central Texas.
Our DJI Matrice 4T detects heat signatures, tracks movement in real time, and covers large areas — even in low light or total darkness.
• Thermal + visual scanning
• Real-time tracking & guidance
• GPS location markers
• Safe, fast, and non-invasive search
Every search is conducted with professional-grade equipment and real-time monitoring. You’ll see exactly what I see — thermal, visual, and live-flight data — so we can confirm detections together during the mission.
