Ketchup, a local dog from Pekin, Illinois, was safely located using a drone with thermal imaging cameras after he escaped from a veterinary clinic and went on a day-long adventure.

Cook County Sheriff's Office used a drone to locate a missing man with diabetes and dementia in a forest preserve.

The rescue happened more out of luck than design. The owner of the drone, Lai Zhongxin, normally uses his vehicles to spray fertilizer and transport construction materials, the CCTV report said.

As of the latest update, the Texas Military Department reported a total of 525 rescues or evacuations, with 366 by air and 159 by ground, supported in part by MQ‑9 operations. The drone’s endurance and advanced sensor suite have been instrumental in enhancing situational awareness for rescue units.
