    Drones for places roads and signals can't reach

    When the 26 August floods tore through the Trishuli valley, GarudX flew at the request of the Ministry of Home Affairs and NDRRMA, as part of the Hami Nepal-led drone team alongside Nepal Police, the Nepal Army and the Armed Police Force. All of it was voluntary.

    A relay built overnight to see inside a flooded tunnel

    Problem
    After the flood, rescuers needed eyes inside a flooded, debris-filled hydropower tunnel where drone video dies at the first bend.
    How we operated
    At the Home Ministry's request, our founder built a relay that steps the drone's 5.8 GHz video down to 1.2 GHz, which bends around curves and through wet concrete. Army special forces carried it in, and a waterproofed GarudX FPV drone flew alongside the rescue teams.
    Outcome
    The drone reached the first debris platform before rockfall closed the way. The Nepal Army's follow-up mission confirmed what it showed.

    Stringing lines back across rivers that cut villages off

    Problem
    The flood cut communication lines, ropeways and power across the Trishuli and Bhote Koshi valleys.
    How we operated
    Drones flew a pilot wire across each gap, then a bigger wire, then the real cable, released by a custom drop mechanism.
    Outcome
    GarudX led the line-stringing: a line and ropeway at the Chilime tunnel that sped up the rescue, and internet, electricity and a ropeway reconnected at Devighat.

    Delivering relief, then training the Army crews who took over

    Problem
    Villages cut off by the flood needed food and supplies, missing people had to be found and recovered, and the valley's airspace was crowded with rescue helicopters.
    How we operated
    We were already flying in the field before the Army's drones arrived, from relief delivery into Devighat to body recovery. As new pilots and ground crews came in, we trained them on the spot, and trained their trainers, so each team could fly delivery safely alongside heavy helicopter traffic and work far more efficiently.
    Outcome
    The Nepal Army's drone teams went on to move more than 3,000 kg of relief a day.
