Search and Rescue
We’re there when disaster strikes
For over 30 years, Babcock has been there when you need us, providing lifesaving search and rescue (SAR) missions in Australia and Spain.
Due to their hard to reach locations (often at sea or in mountainous regions) SAR operations are, by their nature, logistically complex and time-sensitive therefore the combination of our experienced and skilled rescue staff, along with the operational capabilities of our aircraft, ensures Babcock can respond safely and effectively to these emergency situations.
