Camero-Tech Equips Italy’s USAR Teams with Advanced Through-Wall Imaging Radar

Israeli company Camero-Tech, a member of the SK Group that develops pulse-based UWB micro-power radar for through-wall imaging, announced that it has supplied its advanced search and rescue kits to Italy’s Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) teams.

The company reported that a training session on Camero-Tech’s sense-through-wall systems was recently conducted at the Regional Fire Department headquarters in Rome. During the training, USAR teams from multiple regions were instructed on how to use the technology in real-world disaster scenarios. The systems effectively detected live individuals trapped behind walls and under rubble, demonstrating their accuracy and reliability in search and rescue operations.

According to Camero-Tech, the results confirmed that its advanced radar technology significantly enhances response times and operational efficiency, making it an invaluable tool for first responders.

Camero-Tech’s search and rescue kit includes: Xaver™ 100 – An ultra-portable, handheld detector providing primary and reliable information on the presence of live individuals; Xaver™ 400 – A compact radar-based system delivering real-time imaging of live and static objects and their locations; and Xavernet™ – A remote-control ToughPad that enables simultaneous monitoring and operation of multiple Xaver™ systems, enhancing coordination during rescue efforts.

"We are proud to support Italy’s Urban Search and Rescue teams with our cutting-edge radar technology," said Amir Beeri, CEO of Camero-Tech. "The ability to detect survivors in collapsed structures is critical for rescue operations, and our Xaver™ radar systems have already proven their life-saving capabilities in disaster zones worldwide. This deployment in Italy marks another step in our commitment to enhancing first responders' effectiveness in search and rescue missions."
